Update:
Registration Full for Ready Seniors Virtual Workshop 10/21
Wednesday, October 21, 2020

Update: Unfortunately registration is

Contact Rhonda Schwartz to be added to the wait list at Rhonda.Schwartz@acl.hhs.gov.
Increasingly, older adults with complex health issues live
alone in the community, far from their relatives and caregivers. An older
adult may depend upon community service providers for basic necessities
and psychosocial support prior to a disastrous event. However, the need
for these critical services increases when services are disrupted or the
senior is impacted during a major disaster.
FEMA Region II and the Administration for Community Living
have partnered to address this disparity through a workshop aimed at
preparing Area Agencies on Aging and other organizations that provide
critical support services to senior citizens in their communities.
Who should attend?
Emergency planners for nursing homes, assisted living facilities, senior
community centers, senior housing, adult day care centers, home meal
delivery services, charitable organizations, and other who provide
services to senior citizens.
