Hurricanes can be a devastating force of destruction. Damage repairs often cost millions of dollars, and that’s just the beginning. Individuals who experience hurricanes often face physical harm or mental and emotional trauma. While we can’t stop the storm from coming, we can be prepared when it hits. We’ve compiled several resources to help you prepare for, anticipate and proactively engage with the effects of emergencies and disasters.
Resources for Coping with a Disaster or Traumatic Event
CDC
Hurricanes and other natural disasters do more than physical damage. Many individuals who face the realities of these events experience trauma, anxiety and loss of connection. In addition, the impact and type of care needed ranges from children to first-responders. View these resources by the Center for Disease Control to guide care for those coping with disaster and traumatic events.
Emergency Preparedness for Older Adults
CDC
Natural disasters and other emergencies can be especially difficult for older adults, many of whom may have physical problems or cognitive impairment. For both older individuals and their caregivers, it’s important to have a plan in place with the necessary materials to make it happen.
