Person-Centred Emergency Preparedness Toolkit (Webinar 1) from Michelle Villeneuve on Vimeo.

Person-Centred Emergency Preparedness (P-CEP) is an approach to emergency preparedness that puts people with disability and their support needs at the centre of emergency planning. This webinar shares an innovative P-CEP Peer Leadership program and discusses key ingredients of person- centred planning through the lived experience of disability advocates.

Organisational Preparedness: Preparing for Service Continuity in Disaster (Webinar 2) from Michelle Villeneuve on Vimeo.

Disability and community service organisations have a duty of care to both their staff and the people they support before, during and after a disaster. This webinar brings Business Continuity Planning (BCP) to life through good practice examples of all-hazards preparedness planning. Tools and resources are shared so that community and disability organisations can get started.

Roles of Community and Disability Service Providers in DIDRR (Webinar 3) from Michelle Villeneuve on Vimeo.

Good practice examples show how to increase individual and community resilience where you live, work and play. This webinar combines research evidence and practice insights to elaborate the role and capacity of community and disability service providers enabling preparedness and leading community-based inclusive response and recovery.

People-centred Approaches to Community-level DIDRR (Webinar 4) from Michelle Villeneuve on Vimeo.

How do local government and emergency personnel apply person-centred approaches to ensure whole-of-community disaster risk reduction? This webinar explores the role of collaboration in making sure that people with disability and their support needs are at the centre of local emergency management planning and disaster recovery.
