September is National Preparedness Month
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. For
