7. How did we get to the PREPARE NSW project and the PCEP toolkit?
DIDRR NSW project ( ) – focused on bringing together CSO and ESA – raising awareness about DIDRR

8. Disability Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction (DIDRR)
DIDRR – ensuring that pwd have the same opportunity to access emergency preparedness info, to participating emergency preparedness programs in their community, and to be included as a valuable stakeholder in all phases (preparedness, response, recovery) of local DRR.
Principles

9. DIDRR: Local Emergency Management Guidelines
That project led to local guidelines for DIDRR
Wheels spinning relative to each other
PREPARE NSW – providing tools and resources – leveraging role of provider to enable preparedness in their clients

10. PCEP: A conversation in 4 stages
PCEP is a conversation in 4 stages
2 components:
Emergency preparedness – 5 steps that everyone can take (know local hazard risk; make a plan; get home ready; be aware; look out for each other)
Person-centred planning & care – active voice; client led; strengths based; advocacy role of provider

11. 1. Ask reflective questions to determine individual level of emergency preparedness
During field test – we learned that we needed this stage upfront

12. 2. Engage in interactive discussion about functional capabilities and support needs in everyday life
8 areas
How we got to them
CMIST: communication; medical; independence; supervision; transportation

13. 8 elements – highlight social connectedness and what we learned about embedding this into the tool rather than having social network as separate tool
Reviewing capabilities and support needs in everyday life – what I do, where I do it, who I do it with
- Starting from position of strengths enables person-centred care

14. 3. (Re)Consider functional capabilities and support needs in the event of a home fire or natural hazard emergency
2 prompts: shelter in place; evacuate to place of safety
Shared learning – providers and clients learn together about 5 steps to preparedness
Client identifies support needs in emergency situations
Provider advocacy
Client self-advocacy (provide information; share resources; have the conversation….)

15. 4. Communicate the plan
Key Point: Remember to involve the person's informal support network. Together they should discuss how they will plan and act together in an emergency. Gaps in an individual's support network can provide direction for enabling preparedness through formal support and advocacy.
Communicate the plan with support network – extends preparedness to whole family
Providers increase their preparedness and share with their families & friends.
