“Even when warnings arrive, evacuation is often the hardest part.

Across countries:

• Evacuation centers may have:
• No ramps
• No accessible toilets
• No quiet spaces
• Families often do not have a shared plan
• Information can be confusing or delayed

Many people with disabilities cannot evacuate without assistance—not because they are incapable, but because systems are not prepared for them.

Real safety requires rights-based planning, not charity.
