The following article discusses disaster management in the context of disabled children. Disaster, disability and its management is discussed in the context of international practices in general and suited to India in particular. The research follows a review of the United States National Commission on Children and Disaster and its extrapolations to India. In addition to this Disaster Medicine as one approach to Disaster Management concerning disabled children has been explored. The research concludes that the understanding of particular issues of Children with disabilities as one stakeholder and their capacity to engage, as well as a shift in mindset and power relations in which children with disabilities contribute to DRR projects, are fundamental to disability-inclusive DRR.
