This manual / toolkit is a compilation of many resources developed by HelpAge International and other agencies to address the issue of age inclusion in disaster risk management (DRM). It customises the messages to suit the need for age inclusive DRM across Asia Pacific region and other parts of the world. This toolkit outlines the process of age inclusion in programming for disaster risk reduction. It draws from existing resources developed by HelpAge International and other development agencies on age inclusive disaster risk reduction. The toolkit provides an introduction to concepts, policies and frameworks that guide disaster risk reduction, with a special focus on those linked to age and disability. This is followed by insights and tools to support age inclusion in risk assessment, planning, preparedness, resilience building and advocacy.
This is a resource designed for organisations working on disaster risk reduction, including but not limited to network members of HelpAge International.
