Abstract:

Ashok Hans and Reena Mohanty appeal for international standards to be set for disability in disaster management and response. They assess technologies available during disasters and argue that excluding the disabled out of disaster policies and plans and technology usage is a violation of their basic human rights.Development (2006) 49, 119-122. doi:10.1057/palgrave.development.1100302
