In this policy paper, published by the Finnish Red Cross in November 2025, the Nepal Red Cross Society shows how effectiveness in disaster preparedness depends on the meaningful participation of groups in the most vulnerable situations. It has a specific focus on persons with disabilities and women in Eastern Nepal. The policy paper aims to deepen knowledge about inclusive early warning and early action for all stakeholders involved in community resilience, preparedness, and early warning systems.
