Helping Seniors Prepare
for Natural Disasters
Stay In
Touch
If possible,
have a cell
phone and
inform all
relevant
individuals of
the cell phone
number in
advance of
an evacuation. Always be sure to have
a portable radio with plenty of extra
batteries to stay informed on current
conditions. Before any disaster, become
familiar with your local AM radio stations
that would provide the best source of
information to you prior to and during the
event
Your Local Resources
Familiarize yourself and your family with
local disaster resources and procedures
before disaster strikes. Most areas provide
services on a local level like evacuation
shelters, sand bag distribution centers and
a host of other services.
Local agencies that may be able to help:
• Salvation Army
• American Red Cross
• State Disaster Management
• FEMA
Returning Home
Be prepared for a delay in returning home.
If you have been evacuated, it’s possible
you may not be able to return and
reoccupy your home once the event has
ended. Damage to your home, flooding,
loss of utility services and police activity
may prevent you frommoving back. Have
a relocation plan in place with friends and
family.
