This session will focus on emergency preparedness for older adults and caregivers. Everyone needs to be prepared in the event of an emergency, but older adults may have challenges that are not always fully considered in many emergency situations. Being aware of those challenges and possible solutions can help older adults and their caregivers prepare in advance and practice their emergency plans to make sure they have the solutions before an emergency.
