Listen "Emergency Preparedness for Seniors"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I discuss emergency preparedness for seniors in the wake of Hurricane Helene, and now with Milton emerging in Florida.
I want to make sure resources reach those in need, and mentioned in this episode is an emergency preparedness checklist of recommended items to check for when severe and catastrophic weather is in the forecast. This is in the event that you are without food and power.

One gallon of water per person per day
Canned food, dried food, nonperishables
Batteries
Handcrank radio
Matches and candles
Knife
Tinfoil
Plastic bags
Disposable cups

During this time you also need to be wary of scammers who want to take advantage of a horrific situation. Be sure to give to reputable sources, including:

Red Cross
Samaritan's Purse
Efforts organized by your local elected officials

You can also visit FTC.gov to learn about the latest scams, especially those surrounding the events of Hurricane Helene.
