Mechanism: Guarantee and Participation of the Physically Challenged in Disaster Prevention & Relief

Abstract

The physically challenged are vulnerary in disaster prevention and relief. What we ignored are not only their basic human rights but also their capabilities and emotional needs to offer others help. A rational disaster prevention & relief mechanism, including uniformly national project related to disasters to ensure physical challengers basic rights, green channel allowing licensed physical challengers’ participation and a legitimate regulation to ensure their effective participation, is necessary to be established. In this article, I analyse instances happened recently, provide suggestion to solve the problems. By analyzing the instances, I will point out our mistakes. Some of them could be easily avoided with participation of physical challengers. Thus we can establish a new disaster prevention & relief mechanism to ensure their rights and improve efficiency in reconstruction with their special abilities.
