Disability-accessible emergency communications: Learning from wartime experiences in Ukraine

Tue, Jan 27, 2026, 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM
Zoom

Since the start of the war in Ukraine, emergency communication systems have had to adapt rapidly to ensure that critical information reaches persons with disabilities. Wartime conditions have highlighted both progress and persistent gaps in making emergency warnings and public information accessible.

This webinar will explore the improvements introduced in Ukraine to enhance disability accessibility in emergency communications since early 2022, while also examining the challenges that remain. Drawing on real-world experience, the session will offer insights for public authorities and emergency services working to strengthen inclusive emergency communication and preparedness.
