Disability inclusive disaster recovery: Guidance note

This Guidance Note provides action-oriented guidance for government officials and decision-makers with responsibility for post-disaster recovery and reconstruction.

The Note is organized around the following topics:

• Key principles for disability-inclusive recovery;
• Disability data for Post Disaster Needs Assessment and inclusive recovery;
• Enabling policies and legislation for disability-inclusive recovery;
• Institutional mechanisms for inclusive recovery;
• Financing mechanisms; and
• Implementation arrangements.
