Tweed Disability Inclusive Emergency Planning Workshop

Tweed Shire Council is proudly hosting a free community workshop about people-centred approaches to inclusive emergency management. This day-long workshop is part of a research study being conducted by University of Sydney researchers.

Tweed Shire Council is inviting expressions of interest from people who live with disability or work in disability support, health, or emergency management.

We want to learn from your knowledge and experiences about how to make emergency management more inclusive of people with disability.

At the workshop you will learn about:

* People-centred approaches to emergency management

* Factors that increase risk for people with disability in emergencies

* Strategies to reduce risk and increase the resilience of people with disability to disaster

* Local community assets that can be shared before, during and after an emergency to keep people safe.

There are limited places at this workshop. Even if you register, you may not get a place at the workshop.
