As part of this year’s National Preparedness Month campaign that focuses on empowering older adults as they prepare for disasters, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) released the Disaster Preparedness Guide for Older Adults. The guide is intended to support older adults and their caregivers in preparing in three easy steps: assess your needs, create a plan, and engage your network. 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.
