Inclusive policy in Disaster Management for persons with disabilities
As a person with disability and living in hilly terrain of Kashmir in India I feel that disaster management is not inclusive at all. It needs immediate inclusion by following ways
There should be international standards and policy for handling of persons with disabilities during disasters.
The disaster management policy should include all types of persons with disabilities
The training of manpower to deal and rescue people should be trained well in handling persons with sll types and age group of persons with disabilities including women.
There should be mapping of persons with disabilities that too connected with GPS system so that during disasters they could be located and rescued
The rescued persons should be accommodated reasonably at places with availability of accessible information and aids and appliances. There should be privacy maintenance parameters and access to medicines as well
creating awareness of stake holders, NDRF & SDRF TEams and persons with disabilities is highly needed
