While some efforts already exist in this region to prepare persons with disabilities for an emergency, more information is needed and much more work needs to be done. The study found that disability-oriented organizations and emergency planners and responders approach the problem differently. Disability organizations tend to favor approaches unique to different disability needs, while emergency planning and response organizations tend to favor adapting existing approaches to make these more inclusive and accessible.
