Disaster Resources: Preparation and Recovery
As Pinellas and Pasco prepare for the Hurricane Season, there is concern for:
* the seniors, (especially those living in manufactured homes) who do not have an evacuation plan
and
* those who need assistance to evacuate who have not registered with the Special Needs Registry.
The time to plan is before the storm arrives! Click on the links below for more information on resources for disaster preparation and recovery.
The Department of Elder Affairs annually publishes
one edition of the "Elder Update" as a Disaster Preparedness Guide for
Seniors. For this and other resources go to http://elderaffairs.state.fl.us/english/disaster.php.
FEMA has prepared a special page on their website http://www.fema.gov/hazard/hurricane/hu_season08.shtm to help citizens prepare for the season. It is available in English and Spanish.
