Curious how independent and assisted living seniors navigate emergency preparedness for natural disasters.
For assisted seniors, I understand the caregiver/nurse/assistant living in the house (versus a facility/community) would be the captain of that ship; how is the ship prepared & evacuation practiced? How can neighbors assist?
For independent seniors, living in their own home or in a community, what is the plan? I realize owning & living in a home/condo is different than living in a large community with a residential office & property staff. Curious how independents prepare before the alarm rings. What neighborhood resources do you use? Thank you!
But we took small steps of preparedness that I think made sense: buying and maintaining basic earthquake supplies (dried food, stored water and water purification supplies, etc), battery-powered lanterns and a charged-up power supply for power outages, etc. etc. Fire extinguishers, including one in Dad’s bedroom.
