Only four months into 2022 we are dealing with a pandemic, a war and then there were record-breaking floods on the east coast of Australia. It's a lot.

How does someone with a disability or a chronic condition cope with the challenges of natural disasters? What can Government and relief organisations do better when trying to support the community during these times including people with disabilities? 

Peta chats with Jessica Bean, a Queenslander who is living with Cystic Fibrosis and Diabetes.  Jessica was extremely generous in sharing her experiences of living through two natural disasters as a person with a chronic condition and as a Health Empowerment Coach.
