National Preparedness Month

During September each year, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) creates awareness about the importance of being prepared for emergencies and disasters. This year’s theme focuses on addressing the needs of elderly populations and providing resources and materials to ensure inclusivity in emergency planning and response.

Elderly individuals are often more susceptible to the impacts of disasters. They may have physical limitations, chronic health conditions, or reduced mobility, limiting their ability to respond quickly or evacuate if necessary. Preparing them in advance ensures they have the support and resources required to overcome these challenges. Older adults may face increased risks during disasters because they may require regular medications, medical equipment, or specialized care, which can be disrupted during emergencies. Adequate preparation ensures their unique needs are addressed and reduces the potential for adverse outcomes.
