Submissions

IHC has made a submission on the Emergency Management Bill (No 2), calling for disability inclusion to be built into New Zealand’s emergency management system from the ground up. Drawing on international obligations and evidence from recent emergencies, the submission highlights gaps in the Bill and recommends stronger requirements for accessibility, participation, and local disability leadership. IHC is urging Government to ensure that people with intellectual disabilities are considered in emergencies and actively involved in preparing for them.
