EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS


A 2014 study found less than 25% of older adults have an emergency plan. Of those surveyed a quarter live alone and a third were disabled or in poor health. Our older population is most vulnerable in a time of crisis, so being prepared today means a faster response time and less stress in the future

Fort Bend Seniors delivers a hurricane pack of 5 emergency shelf-stable meals with a shelf life of one year and a complete hurricane kit to our senior clients prior to hurricane season. Sitting down with your loved one to work out a natural disaster plan gives you and your family peace of mind and reassurance they are prepared when an emergency occurs.
