"These barriers that deaf people have faced during disasters has been going on far long enough.
With these frequent disasters happening, it's time for us to break this cycle."
- Leyla Craig, PhD Candidate, @Sydney_Uni
#DisabilityDisasterAlliance
"What about accessing emergency preparedness, recovery, and prevention information in sign language as well? Hearing people have 100% access to emergency & disaster information during the entire DRR cycle"
- Leyla Craig, PhD Candidate, @Sydney_Uni

DiDRR Consultant Leyla Craig explains the difference between equality and equity.
"Equity means that things are fair, fair access to opportunities, and resources that fit every person's needs." #DisabilityDisasterAlliance
"So for deaf people, most of us have access to emergency information in sign language during the response part only. That's only one-fourth of the entire DRR cycle that is accessible to us."
- Leyla Craig, PhD Candidate, @Sydney_Uni

"Equity means that things are fair, fair access to opportunities, and resources that fit every person's needs. This is where many emergency and disaster management services fail"
- Leyla Craig, PhD Candidate, @Sydney_Uni

"The problem is not because we cannot hear. The problem is the system is a barrier to us. We don't have enough information or access to information, or support, like interpreting services, in the event of a disaster," Leyla Craig, DiDRR Consultant. #DisabilityDisasterAlliance
"It's important to have Deaf-led organizations in order to save lives and reduce costs related to disasters," says Emmanuel Jacq at @DisabilityGADRA's Deaf Leadership in International Disaster Policy webinar. #DisabilityDisasterAlliance

Thank you SO much to everyone who joined us for today's event - from @gallaudetu, GADRA, our guest presenters, and our amazing team of interpreters, we couldn't have done it without you! Can't wait to continue with our next event on October 29! #DisabilityDisasterAlliance
"I would call this a Call to Action. We now have a list of requests, and so those of us who have joined today can take this as guidelines for what to lobby our governments for, and how to support all of these organizations." Audrey Cooper, @GallaudetU #DisabilityDisasterAlliance
"We have plans to create a Caribbean Federation of the Deaf - this would be an association of 15 Deaf communities...there is a lot of interest, but we face a lot of natural disasters, and things get in the way."
- Bryan Rodrigues, D.E.A.F.
#DisabilityDisasterAlliance
"The type of support and resources we need is primarily awareness and training...we've been doing this work for 12 years, we have been learning on the fly, so we need to turn this over to the next generation"
Bryan Rodrigues, D.E.A.F.

Thuy Tien speaks on how the Deaf Community in Viet Nam is neglected during disasters.
“The Deaf Community is cut off from resources such as food, life jackets and do not have fresh water to drink, but most importantly is the [lack of] communication” #DisabilityDisasterAlliance
"D.E.A.F. primarily needs support for equipment...when D.E.A.F. approached the government for support, they declined our requests."
- Ian Dhanoolal, D.E.A.F., Trinidad and Tobago
#DisabilityDisasterAlliance
"In response to that, D.E.A.F. decided to offer news broadcasts on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, so that Deaf people will have access to information...we do not have any private funding or governmental support, this is completely volunteer" #DisabilityDisasterAlliance
"They do offer interpretation on TV (in Trinidad and Tobago). However, that interpretation is offered in signed English which is functionally unintelligible to most of the community." - Ian Dhanoolal, D.E.A.F. #DisabilityDisasterAlliance
"People with disabilities are not just recipients of support, we can be providers of support as well. So for disaster relief support, disability organizations should be included."
Naoki Kurano, Japanese Federation for the Deaf
