PEOPLE living with disability across Ipswich will soon be better prepared should disasters including severe storms or floods impact the city.
Dedicated workshops focused on creating an emergency plan specific to an individual’s needs will take place next week.
Ipswich City Council and the Queenslanders with Disability Network teamed up to deliver the sessions after 2016’s Census report revealed 17 per cent of Ipswich residents were living with disability.
Local Disaster Management Group deputy chair Councillor Kate Kunzelmann said the workshop would be practical and interactive for people with disability and their carers.
“We know that preparedness is our best defence against disaster,” Cr Kunzelmann said.
