陳婉玲   根據香港政府統計處在2013年的統計調查[1],殘疾人士與智障人士數目超過65萬人,隨著香港人口逐漸老化,估計現時人數已遞增了不少。殘疾人士包括視障、聽障、肢體傷殘、智障、器官殘障/長期病患、言語障礙、自閉症、精神病、注意力不足/過度活躍症及特殊學習困難人士,雖然他們有一些限制和缺陷,但也有自身能力及潛能,與其他市民一樣,是社區重要的成員及持份者。   由於年齡的增長,很多人或身邊的親友,也有可能出現一些因疾病而成為殘疾人士;而每個社區/樓宇或多或少也會有殘疾人士居住,在防災及日常生活的需要上與大家息息相關。要預防災難發生和及時應變,大家的參與及協作,至關重要。   在香港,常見的災害包括火災、颱風、暴雨致水浸或山泥傾瀉、傳染病等,其中尤以火災最防不勝防,且隨時有可能發生,故每個家庭及每個社區,都必須有防災準備及計劃,萬一發生緊急事故,在消防員還未到達時,已能安全逃生,減低生命和財物的損失。   其實我們每個人在社會上也擔當著多個不同的角色,在防災備災計劃上,可以做得更周全,大家互相幫助,社區便更為安全。以預防家居火災為例,除了做好個人/家庭層面的預防措施,包括正確使用電器、爐具及易燃物品、預備好逃生包(內有重要證件、財物、手提電話、藥物…) 等之外,我們在其他角色上也可以做多幾步,作出貢獻:
