“…This leads to the importance of social capital and to movement beyond perceived social support to a realized membership and partnership among policymakers, practitioners, and individuals from the disability community. Several researchers have previously noted that the need for inclusion starts at the planning and development stage (Bennett et al 2017;Castro et al 2017;Maini et al 2017;Lunga et al 2019).…”

“…Research and reports over the last 5 years not only have highlighted the need to empower people with disabilities (Phibbs et al 2016;Castro et al 2017;Quaill et al 2019), but also note that inclusivity has not been fully achieved by all Grant 2018;King et al 2019). People with disabilities, disability organizations, and care providers can and should contribute to disaster risk reduction and mitigation (Bennett et al 2017;Castro et al 2017;Gray 2017;Maini et al 2017;Grant 2018;Lunga et al 2019). Their risk perception may present new issues and, thus, deserves more attention from researchers, disaster practitioners, and policymakers (Castro et al 2017); for instance, ''Disability support groups could provide a forum for people with disabilities to share their cyclone knowledge and exchange ideas for managing wellbeing with each other to minimize vulnerability and enhance personal resilience'' (Quaill et al 2019, p. 64).…”

“…On the use of technologies to improve accessibility, Benneth et al [3] suggest the use of wireless technologies to empower PWDs regarding individual preparedness (technology outreach), response (warning and reaction), recovery (enable location of accessible shelters) and mitigation (wireless technologies integrated into post-disaster reconstruction). Benneth et al provide an excellent, comprehensive framework on the use of wireless technologies and how it helps PWDs, at different emergency management stages and different ecosystems of PWDs at micro, meso, exo and macro levels.…”
