As we come into the summer season when natural disasters can be more likely, it’s important to be prepared.

The University of Sydney have created a Person-Centred Emergency Preparedness tool to help people with disability create an emergency plan to suit their specific needs.

In any emergency, always follow the local advice for your State or Territory.
