We spoke to German Parodi, co-executive director of the Partnership for Inclusive Disaster Strategies.

Disabled people are disproportionately impacted by climate change, so every climate disaster is ultimately an accessibility issue.

Disability-inclusive disaster strategies prioritize preparedness, accessible communication, community networks that bring neighborhood-to-neighborhood trust and support for people with disabilities.

Parodi believes that disabled people's experiences adapting to a world that's not built for them mean they can make substantial contributions to keeping communities safe in a warming world.

We bring lived expertise.

We are adapting daily in how to break down barriers.

And in this world of ongoing frequent disasters, we are the experts on how to build a world where all survive, you know, where no one is left behind.
