Our first steps
The project partnership is meeting regularly online to determine all necessary actions on an ongoing basis.
The first step in the project is the preparation of a report on the status of current situation across Europe regarding the inclusion of people with disabilities in emergency preparedness.
So far, interviews with experts, online surveys and desk research have been conducted in Italy, Greece, Cyprus and Lithuania on the basis of which the report has been developed. The partners will soon begin work on developing Educative Material.
