FEMA Offers Free Disaster Preparedness Guide for Older Adults
Though we were teased by warmer weather at the end of last month, we are still in the midst of winter and could experience more snowstorms or other severe weather-related events.
To help older adults and their caregivers be prepared for possible weather-related and other disasters, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, has developed a Disaster Preparedness Guide for Older Adults.
The guide provides easy-to-read, user-friendly worksheets that walk individuals and caregivers through a self-assessment to identify specific needs and checklists that create a personalized plan in case of severe weather.
This severe-weather guide was created as part of FEMA’s partnership with the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers, which recognizes the critical role caregivers play in protecting our nation’s older adult community. Visit Ready.gov/Older-Adults to download the free guide or access more preparedness resources.
Check out MAC’s Assistive Technology Center for all sorts of devices to help caregivers, in all kinds of weather.
