Upcoming: The Purple Vest emergency solutions Badge

Get to know the Purple Vest Accessible Emergency Solutions Badge (“Purple Vest Badge”)

 

We are excited to share the Purple Vest Badge for people with disabilities and elderly in times of crisis.

People all over the world can find themselves facing an emergency – whether it happens because of climate change, natural causes or man caused events such as terror, fire or war. For people with disabilities and the elderly the generic solutions assisting the general public in such challenging times, are usually not sufficient.

 

The Purple Vest Mission is proud to present the Purple Vest badge, which include initiatives that contribute to accessibility in emergencies, whether they were specifically designed for this purpose or simply achieve it in practice. Our role is to amplify these solutions, share them globally, and empower people with disabilities and older adults, as well as decision-makers and leaders, to adopt and implement them.

 

The Purple Vest Badge will be given to solutions that:

  • Provide a solution for a challenge in times of at least one type of emergency for people with at least one type of disability (physical, visual, hearing, mental, communicative, cognitive etc.).
  • Support preparedness, response, or recovery in times of emergency.
