ABSTRACT
This chapter attends to the fact that the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and now with the publication of the World Report on Disability, this century can frame disaster mitigation plans and the laws for an inclusive framework of disasters. The Disaster Management Act 2005 is nowhere close to making the community resilience plans inclusive. In the next chapter the debate on making disaster laws inclusive reaches out to the most voiceless victims of disasters, ‘the animals or the non-human species’. The author highlights the major gap in the DMA 2005 on its failure to incorporate Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
