Preparedness for Older Residents 

Plan For An Emergency: 

  • Download a Communications Plan to create an emergency contact list. 
  • Know how you will evacuate if needed. If you have access & functional needs, be sure your evacuation & transportation plan fits those needs. 
  • Create an Emergency Plan. ​

Medication and Medical Supply Needs: 

  • Include medications and medical supplies in your emergency preparedness kit. If you take medicine or use a medical treatment on a daily basis, be sure you have a large enough supply of the necessary items for at least a week. 
  • Keep a copy of your prescriptions as well as dosage or treatment information. 
  • Identify back-up medical service providers in your area in case you experience a power outage. If you use medical equipment in your home that requires electricity to operate, consider a battery back-up or home generator. ​​

Additional Tips: 

  • Have extra supplies in your home if you use eyeglasses, hearing aids and hearing aid batteries, wheelchair batteries, and oxygen. 
  • Have copies of your medical insurance, Medicare and Medicaid cards readily available.
