People with Disabilities are Not Innately Vulnerable (Part 22)

But when they are left out of the adaptation planning process — the consequences can be disastrous

Membreno-Curtis  said “The challenge is to look at solutions for resiliency with a three-pronged approach:

1. Ecologically minded – we need to work with nature and understand nature.

2. Equity for all – otherwise we’re creating barriers for people with disabilities or we’re punishing one socio-economic group while protecting the property of another’s.

3. Economy – we must be careful about making unbalanced economic framework when we undertake billions of dollars’ worth of infrastructure projects.”

Membreno-Curtis said even a small project benefits from looking at all angles and making sure the finished project is accessible to all.
