Leaving No One Behind – Achieving disability-inclusive disaster risk management
Natural hazard events can occur in any country, at any time. At present, India, Bangladesh, and Nepal are dealing with the aftermath of some of the worst monsoon flooding in years, which has left more than 1,200 people dead and millions homeless. At the same time, North America and the Caribbean region are responding to some of the strongest hurricanes on record.
At such times of peril, individual and community resilience is at a premium, and we cannot afford to miss opportunities to bolster that resilience wherever possible. This is especially true with respect to certain groups – such as persons with disabilities – who have historically been disproportionately affected by natural hazards.
On August 30, a group of experts met at the World Bank in Washington, D.C., to discuss the inclusion of persons with disabilities in disaster risk management. This consultation was the first of its kind for the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https://www.gfdrr.org/&c=E,1,urg3O2M7soWExv7bFo4KZkr2l3nsxlmWyeGMjz2Gqmf0Ocf-4ap-QooQK9X6-SnO7qqHdPAz4C_PhoD23GqcXzlNFT9TpMAxNib0mvVpivzbpzrcRA,,&typo=1> (GFDRR). Led by the Disability Stakeholder Group<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=http://www.preventionweb.net/organizations/17064/profile&c=E,1,jc7sLEigrce41n8OURFrk71N8mrelOiPR0YBWt8B10yGbJK6Kuddz4zYiWBM-BfexpEXwtnl4PP4rbkOKTBTSnApWE12SF7eHKXRRUUSVbWGec71iQ,,&typo=1>, the impact and influence of bringing together hundreds of persons with disabilities, and representatives of disability organizations worldwide resulted in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=http://www.unisdr.org/we/coordinate/sendai-framework&c=E,1,cDhGL-lRbreUe2LyU67RUfY0nHpV-eM_erAssVWno5GYNbvWTxiYPhFKiM9NOGJtBh6WVUrhGggnUW4FzTM2zDKlGh4pEay0yWywSDu0&typo=1> leading as the most disability-inclusive international mainstream framework, which clearly sets out how implementers operationalize disability issues.

Winning the award for Bangladesh this year was a project titled ‘DAISY-standard Accessible Reading Materials for Persons with Visual Disabilities’, which was headed by former APNIC Fellow and ISIF Award recipient Vashkar Bhattacharjee, who is himself visually impaired. Bhattacharjee is part of the Access to Information (a2i) Program<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=http://a2i.pmo.gov.bd/&c=E,1,AR1NfcHO6K5NQy9DmFgrSlY8plYShrrQpfY9ycA3WSsHOtcbsUTyDMYY1AwkBa8JLYuv2tqeQE-Bk2t3A2TSVNE151Vww0yx4OZtVnojnOAv&typo=1> of the Prime Minister’s Office of Bangladesh, and, backed by a2i’s Service Innovation Fund and, with help from the Young Power in Social Action<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=http://www.ypsa.org/&c=E,1,TvsVVuogy7bnMB33fxh_m-fZNL6ptrfaqRI0M_LkjpttkymyQdQt8IDzIZ3qJn1HUjj7Ne_WnT4Woj6_pzYEbKQj3DJ5jXer8JGdV-z_HRiVWTcm0THX&typo=1> (YPSA) organization, a2i transformed regular textbooks into user-friendly ‘DAISY Multimedia Books’ for all subjects from Classes 1 to 10.
Bhattacharjee shares his story of how ICT has empowered one blind person to make the world accessible for others.
