This report presents selected good practices from South and South-East Asia that highlight how persons with disabilities can participate in and contribute to efforts in disaster risk management. As the good practices in this report illustrate, the inclusion and active participation of persons with disabilities in disaster risk management can come a long way: as they got engaged in community and higher-level advocacy meetings, the women and men portrayed in this paper have shed the stigma of mere recipients and become valued contributors to risk reduction efforts.
The good practices were collected through an online screening survey amongst DiDRRN members.In addition, field research was conducted in Indonesia and the Philippines.
