Senior Care Calls wants to help you plan ahead and be prepared at all times. Never take your safety for granted and be aware as often as possible. We also encourage seniors and family members to take responsibility by planning now. If you have questions about Care Calls, email Carol@WorkingCaregiver.com.
Other tips for Planning Safety:
- Listen for information on radio and TV about hazardous weather and other events, and heed the advice of local officials. Leave right away if told to do so.
- In some communities, people who need help or transportation during an evacuation are asked to register that need with their local government. Call your local emergency management office for information and suggestions about what to do during an evacuation.
- Gather essential supplies, and be sure to keep a copy of your eyeglass prescription, list of medications and their dosage, and other important papers to take with you if you have to leave your home.
- When preparing for a possible emergency situation, it’s best to think first about the basics of survival: fresh water, food, clean air and warmth.
