Promoting Disability-Inclusive Disaster Preparedness in Coastal Communities

Abstract

This article evaluates a disability-inclusive disaster preparedness initiative in a tsunami-prone area of Banten. The program provided accessible evacuation training, developed inclusive early warning materials, and involved persons with disabilities in risk mapping and drills. The findings indicate increased disaster readiness and integration of disability perspectives in village contingency planning. The research advocates for inclusive frameworks in community resilience strategies, especially in high-risk coastal areas.
