Peaceful and resilient cities are only possible when everyone is included. 🤝

Persons with disabilities must help shape emergency preparedness, response, and recovery efforts - before, during, and after crises.♿️🌍

A key reminder: health systems that exclude persons with disabilities deepen inequities. Barriers in access, design, and communication limit care and outcomes.

Inclusive systems - shaped with persons with disabilities - are more accessible, effective and equitable for all.🏥🏙️🤝
