You have been invited to a Disability Inclusive Emergency Planning (DIEP) forum in your community. Shire of Kalgoorlie-Boulder is your host.

Please confirm your free spot by completing this registration.

The Disability Inclusive Emergency Planning (DIEP) Forum is your chance to be part of a powerful collaboration driving safer, more inclusive emergency planning for more effective responses that leave nobody behind.

Why me?

The DIEP forum brings together government officials, emergency service providers, and leaders from the disability, health, community, and social support sectors. We especially invite people from disability advocacy or representative organisations who have lived experience of disability themselves or care for those who do. Together, attendees will share insights, spark innovative ideas, and forge partnerships for actionable solutions in emergency management.

What is it about?

We want to learn from your knowledge and experiences about how to make emergency management more inclusive of people with disability.

During the forum, participants will explore the Disability Inclusive Emergency Management (DIEM) Toolkit. This toolkit integrates the Organisational Emergency Preparedness (OEP) profile and works together with the Person-Centred Emergency Preparedness (P-CEP) framework, forming a comprehensive approach to inclusive emergency management planning and practice.

Venue parking and accessibility:

Parking is available including additional ACROD parking bays.

Funding support:

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has provided funding for the University of Sydney's Collaborating4Inclusion team to deliver forums across each Australian jurisdiction. These forums will support access to the newest information and tools on disability inclusive emergency planning.

Important information:

This is a face-to-face forum by invitation. The interactive learning activities have been designed for in-person attendance.

We recognise that in-person forums may not suit everybody. If you would like more information about our upcoming online DIEP forum or want to access the information, tools, training and resources for inclusive emergency management, please contact us at: collaborating.4inclusion@sydney.edu.au.

Morning tea and lunch are provided.
