This paper examines the connections between disability and disaster from a global perspective. Concepts from the research and policy literature are used to distinguish between individual and social models of disability, and between natural hazards and human disasters. These concepts are then employed to investigate data on the response to disabled people's recovery needs in two recent case studies: the Asian tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. The analysis combines primary, secondary and tertiary sources to explore disability issues in the reconstruction of inclusive communities and the lessons that may be learned about disaster preparedness in poor communities. The conclusions suggest that more attention should be paid to social model approaches, particularly in understanding global links with poverty, and that disabled people's organisations should be resourced as agents of disaster recovery and preparedness.

The future of long-term care in America is uncertain. As the population ages, it is becoming more apparent that needs and desires of our elders are changing. Culture Change is an initiative that will provide the individualized care and meaningful interactions that residents, families, and staff desire. Apple Health Care, a for-profit provider of skilled nursing services based in Avon, Connecticut, embraced culture change in 1997 and has felt the positive impact of the gradual transition from a medical to a more social model of care in each of its 21 homes. This brief provides a perspective of how to begin the journey from the vantage points of service, care, quality, and the for-profit sector.
