May is Older Americans Month, and we encourage everyone to take time to ensure older family members are prepared for an emergency or disaster.

Important steps include:
• Confirming transportation methods in case leaving home is needed.
• Collecting a list of medications and doctors’ phone numbers.
• Considering the safety and well-being of a pet or service animal.
• Making a Family Emergency Plan.
