ALT Slide 1 of 6: "Resilience starts at home." An open exit door shows earthquake destruction outside, while inside a hand holds a phone showing an active Earthquake Alert next to an emergency backpack, wheelchair, and walker. Dark green background with IDDRR and DiDRRN partner logos at the top.
ALT Slide 2 of 6: "What does Resilience Starts at Home mean?" Core takeaway: "If a home is not accessible, it cannot be resilient." Explains that disasters do not affect everyone equally, and how housing is planned, built, and maintained determines risk. Below, an illustration shows a man using crutches and a woman in a wheelchair conversing.
ALT Slide 3 of 6: "Affordable, Safe, Accessible." Outlines three principles: 1. Universal Design from the foundation, not as a retrofit; 2. Prevention Pays, costing a fraction of post-disaster rebuilding; 3. Safe housing is a fundamental right, not an optional upgrade. Includes an illustration of an older woman using a crutch.
ALT Slide 4 of 6: "Inclusion Saves Lives." States that resilience is strongest when everyone participates in decision-making, emphasizing that persons with disabilities and OPDs are frontline leaders designing solutions, not passive recipients of aid. Above the text, an illustration shows a woman in a wheelchair raising her hand.
ALT Slide 5 of 6: "Inclusive Early Warnings and Preparedness." States that a warning that fails to reach or be understood by the household is a warning that fails. Details that alerts must be multi-sensory (audio, visual, tactile, plain language) and linked to accessible evacuation routes and plans for assistive devices. Features an illustration of a young girl using sign language.
ALT Slide 6 of 6: International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, 13 October 2026. Main headline: "Resilience at home is a right, a responsibility, and an investment." Concludes that resilient homes must be accessible to all and rooted in "Nothing about us without us." Features an illustration of a woman in a wheelchair waving, partner logos, and a link to didrrn.net.
