Disaster risk reduction models for cities that are centred on persons with disabilities

ONG Inclusiva, a nationwide Chilean NGO, specializes in community-based, disability-inclusive disaster risk reduction work, which it offers across Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Its Disability Inclusive Resilient Cities Model identifies persons with disabilities, adapts emergency plans, trains stakeholders, and develops low-cost evacuation protocols and kits. From 2014 to 2025 it has expanded to over 80 municipalities in Chile and internationally, trained 3,000+ users, and inspired global tools such as the UNDRR Disability Scorecard.
