Emergency Planning For People With Disabilities
Person-Centred Emergency Preparedness (P-CEP)
The Person-Centred Emergency Preparedness (P-CEP) Workbook is a simple and practical tool designed with and for people with disability to help them prepare for emergencies like fires or floods.
How Does P-CEP Work?
P-CEP breaks emergency planning into four easy steps, each focusing on conversations and actions to create a personalised plan tailored to an individual's needs. It’s a guided process that helps identify support requirements, potential challenges, and strategies to stay safe during an emergency.
Why is P-CEP Important?
P-CEP is about empowerment and collaboration, helping people with disability manage their needs before, during, and after a disaster. It focuses on abilities, community resources, and teamwork.
