People with disabilities are impacted disproportionately by ‘natural’ disasters. In part this heightened vulnerability reflects cultural, economic and political processes that (re)produce the broader social exclusion of people with disabilities. More immediately, it reflects the exclusion of people with disabilities from disaster management and emergency preparedness efforts. This paper presents findings from an in-depth case study of Ontario's Emergency Preparedness Guide for People with Disabilities as one attempt at inclusive emergency planning, drawing on key informant interviews with government officials and disability organizations. Analysis shows that while the guide's development involved broad consultation, it fails to reflect the diversity of Ontario's disabled communities. At the same time, the guide's emphasis on fostering individual resilience in the face of emergencies is contested by disability organizations' emphasis on interdependence, preparedness and action at the community level and in the context of broader social and material conditions. Interviews with people with intellectual disabilities reinforce the value of a focus on interdependence, preparedness and action at a community, rather than an individual, level.

残疾人受到“自然”灾难的影响最大。这种加剧的脆弱性在一定程度上反映了文化（经济）和政治过程，（重新）使残疾人受到更广泛的社会排斥。更直接地，它反映出将残疾人排除在灾难管理和应急准备工作之外。本文介绍了对安大略省《残疾人紧急应变指南》进行的深入案例研究，以此作为包容性应急计划的一种尝试，它借鉴了对政府官员和残疾人组织的关键知情人士访谈。分析表明，尽管指南的制定涉及广泛的咨询，但未能反映安大略省残疾人社区的多样性。同时，指南 残疾组织强调在社区一级以及在更广泛的社会和物质条件下的相互依存，准备和行动，这对强调在紧急情况下增强个人的应变能力提出了质疑。对智障人士的采访强调了在社区而不是个人层面上的相互依赖，准备和行动的重要性。
