SURFACE graduate published in latest issue of international journal
An article by Accessibility and Inclusive Design alumnus, Joe Kipling, has been published in the latest issue of the “International Journal of Disaster Resilience in the Built Environment” (Volume 2; Issue 1). Joe, who is a senior consultant at Johnson Controls Global WorkPlace Solutions, based the article on research conducted for her MSc dissertation, with which she graduated from SURFACE in 2008. The article is entitled “Access to Emergency Rest Centres: lessons to be learnt from the 2007 floods” and is centred on three case studies in the Yorkshire and Humber region of Northern England. It explores the barriers to accessing emergency shelters experienced by people with disabilities and makes recommendations on planning for more inclusive evacuation, aimed at both local authority emergency planning teams and voluntary organisations.
