Kolonnawa reminded us that recovery is not the same for everyone.

Persons with disabilities spoke about navigating rising water without accessible evacuation shelters. Women shared the invisible labour of holding families together while managing their own health and economic uncertainty.

We listened to concerns about inaccessible temporary shelters, disrupted livelihoods, damaged assistive devices, and the absence of inclusive early warning systems.

The message was clear: rebuilding must go beyond infrastructure. It must centre disability inclusion, gender equity, and community-led resilience from the start.

‘’The floods destroyed his medical records and now we can not even go to school with out these documents, he doesnt even have an ID just a clinic card."

‘’I am so worried about my son, because who will take care of him when i pass away. I am already sick and I dont know what he will do after I am gone, this brings me great worry."

‘’They go through so much on a daily basis, they need to meet like minded people and share their joys and worries. Mental health support is urgenlty needed.”
