UNISDR and the Hyogo Framework for Action

Disasters and Disabilities Persons with disabilities are highly exposed to disasters The death rate of persons with disabilities in the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami was more than double the rate of the entire population The earthquake in Haiti in 2010 disproportionally affected persons with disabilities Studies after Hurricane Katrina found that approximately one-third of those who did not leave their homes during the disaster had a disability. © Benoit Marquet/Handicap International
