This article illustrates the issue of disability and emergency situations based on the experience of Handicap International, a non-governmental organization that has been working on a daily basis since 1982 to support persons living in disabling situations and vulnerable persons faced with various types of crisis. Based on the Disability Creation Process (DCP) conceptual model, an analysis of the potential consequences of these humanitarian crisis situations on the creation and increase of disabling situations, as well as of the impacts they may have on daily living activities of persons with disabilities will be exposed. It will be followed by a brief description of the existing international legislative framework and recommendations regarding disability and emergency situations. Then general fieldwork observations will show evidence that few of these requirements and recommendations are fulfilled. Finally, some principles of action and simple solutions drawn from the field experience of improving the management of persons living in disabling in cases of emergency will be presented.
