The Emergency Preparedness Handbook for Seniors (Large Print Edition)

The same emergency that's a minor inconvenience for one household can become genuinely dangerous for another, not because of any weakness, but because the practical details are different: medications that can't be missed, medical equipment that depends on electricity, mobility that changes what "just evacuate" really means.

The Emergency Preparedness Handbook for Seniors is a clear, practical guide built specifically around those differences, helping you protect your independence and safety before an emergency ever arrives.

Inside, you'll learn:

• How to assess your personal risks around medications, mobility, and support networks


• Practical home safety, fall prevention, and fire prevention steps that take an afternoon, not a renovation


• How to manage medications and refrigerated prescriptions during a multi-day power outage


• How to choose and use a medical alert system, and build a vital health information sheet first responders can use immediately


• How to set up backup power for oxygen concentrators, CPAPs, and other electric medical equipment


• A simple, written family emergency plan your loved ones will actually remember and follow


• What to do specifically when help is delayed by hours or days during a major disaster
