Disaster Preparation: What if You Must Evacuate Your Elder?

By Carol Bradley Bursack, Health Guide Monday, April 06, 2009

 

I'm praying that this time, we will get the Federal funding we need to get the job done right and Fargo-Moorhead will have permanent flood protection. However, we can't ward off tornados. We could , one day, be in the eye of a disaster of another kind.

 

We all need to be aware of emergency procedures for ourselves, but particularly for our vulnerable loved ones, and give personal thought to what we'd take (or send) to help our elders survive emotionally, as well as physically. We need to remember that sometimes, we are the people faced with these situations. It can happen anywhere.
