Be Ready: Disaster Preparedness for Older Adults

Older adults face disproportionate risks during disasters — including hurricanes, floods, wildfires, extreme heat, power outages, and public health emergencies. The AARP Disaster Resilience Tool Kit, developed with FEMA, provides local leaders with practical strategies to reduce these risks and strengthen community-wide resilience.  This presentation provides disaster-preparation information and links to AARP, FEMA, Red Cross, and FL sites.
