A Melanie Minute: Are Your Prepared?

Emergency Preparedness for People with Disabilities and Seniors

People with disabilities and seniors can become the most vulnerable of our friends and neighbours during an emergency, natural disaster or catastrophe. And this is why being prepared is so critical for anyone with special needs, with a disability and who is simply older and might require additional or special assistance during an emergency.

Whether its floods or wildfires, ice storms of massive power outages, even hurricanes and earthquakes, when an emergency or disaster strikes, we all need to be prepared.
