Abstract
People with disabilities are particularly vulnerable to disasters. Socioeconomic and physical vulnerability makes them more vulnerable to disasters. Based on the international and national policies of the United Nations Convention on the Rights Persons with Disabilities, Law No. 8 of 2016 concerning persons with disabilities states that persons with disabilities must be protected in the event of a disaster. Unfortunately, persons with disabilities tend to be neglected in the preparedness system during emergencies. This study was conducted by reviewing existing disaster-mitigation programs in disaster-prone villages and identifying the need for inclusive disaster mitigation using a case study approach. The results of the study showed that inclusive disaster mitigation indicators are needed by realizing the availability of management information systems, disability data, formation and empowerment of village disability groups, strengthening of village administrator and disaster-resilient village teams, and providing persons with disabilities with information and knowledge about inclusive disaster mitigation.
