Emergency planning for children requires extra thought and preparation to help everyone manage a stressful situation.
Older individuals are one of the most at-risk groups when a disaster happens. Make sure to plan for a number of age-related issues so an emergency situation is less challenging.
When creating a disaster preparedness plan including individuals with functional and access needs, make sure to consider how day-to-day needs may be impacted during a disaster.
Pets are members of the family. Plan ahead for pet needs in the event of a disaster requiring you to shelter in place or evacuate.
