Disaster Preparedness Guide: How should seniors prepare emergency kits, medication lists, and contact cards?
Disaster preparation is not just a good habit—it is a lifeline for older adults. When a hurricane, wildfire, earthquake, or extended power outage hits, the first 72 hours are often the most chaotic. For seniors, that chaos is amplified by mobility challenges, chronic health conditions, and medication dependence. This guide walks you through three core tools every older adult should have ready: an emergency bag, a medication list, and a contact card. You will learn exactly what to pack, where to store it, how often to update it, and why each item matters when minutes count.
