September is National Preparedness Month

Man in fog
September marks the observance of National Preparedness Month. It is a time to prepare yourself and those in your care for emergencies and disasters.  Whether you are an older adult, an individual with a disability, or a family member caring for a loved one with functional needs; each person's needs and abilities are unique. By evaluating your own personal needs and making an emergency plan, you can be better prepared for any situation. Older people, people with Alzheimer’s or dementia, and people with disabilities can avoid a lot of hassles and stress in times of emergency by having a good plan in place.
