Abstract

Disaster mitigation must be understood by all parties, including persons with disabilities who are categorized as particularly vulnerable to disaster impacts. This paper aims to see the application of appropriate assistive technology for persons with disabilities in a disaster emergency in the setting of disaster training and simulations conducted at SLB Negeri 1 Bantul. The right and accessible technology will help and facilitate disabilities in coping with disasters. Engineering training materials and the use of assistive technology for disabilities are concise necessary, this is done to accommodate the types, characteristics, needs, and services of disabilities in disaster mitigation and simulation activities. This training using assistive technology is carried out for disabilities to accommodate all rights and improve the functions and independence of individuals with disabilities so that they have active participation in disaster mitigation and simulation activities.
