Accessibility and inclusion should be built into how we plan, communicate, and respond when emergencies happen.
The event brings together experts, authorities, and organisations to share experiences and examples of what works. Together, we'll explore how emergency services, municipalities, and national agencies can plan and act in ways that include everyone.
