PhuketDeclaration, January 2007

In a knowledge-based society, ICT development, which includes assistive technologies and universal design concept, will contribute to the success of disaster preparedness development that will meet the diverse needs of all people including those of persons with disabilities and other vulnerable people including women, children, old people, cultural minorities, tourists, etc. in the community.

Such ICT development should be based on internationally-recognized standards that are open, non-proprietary, and have proven track record of accessibility.
