During Hurricane Katrina, the average age of storm-related fatalities in Louisiana was 69. During Hurricane Ian in 2022, many fatalities in Lee County were elderly residents who could not evacuate or were not reached in time. These were not failures of courage. They were failures of preparation that accounts for age-specific vulnerabilities.
The ERG Senior & Elderly Emergency Preparedness Plan addresses the specific risks older adults and their caregivers face — medical dependencies, reduced mobility, power-dependent equipment, medication management, and the tendency to underreport need until it becomes a crisis.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
Medical dependency documentation worksheet — medications, dosages, prescribing physicians
Power-dependent equipment protocol: CPAP, oxygen concentrators, refrigerated medications
Functional needs registry enrollment guidance (Florida Special Needs Shelters)
Transportation planning for adults who cannot self-evacuate
Caregiver communication and backup caregiver designation
Hurricane and severe weather decision timeline for older adults
Emergency supply modifications for medical and dietary needs
Post-disaster support access: FEMA Individual Assistance, local resources
Guidance for adult children managing preparedness for aging parents
Delivered as a fully editable Word document.
WHO THIS IS FOR: Florida adults 65+, their caregivers, and adult children managing preparedness for aging parents.
