Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

Disaster preparedness is critical to improve health outcomes during and after disasters. Climate change is increasing natural disasters. People with chronic conditions or disabilities (PCCD) are more vulnerable and need tailored interventions to maintain health. Collaboration with diverse stakeholders fosters inclusive strategies, enhancing healthcare facility accessibility and addressing systemic biases. Screening, raising awareness, and actions toward readiness with special concern for PCCD promotes health equity and better outcomes. Application/assessment by COPEWELL (Composite for Post-Event Well-Being) for regional recommendations can build community resilience.
