Three out of four Americans are at risk for some kind of natural disaster. While surviving and recovering from a disaster would be difficult for anyone, those with dementia and the nearly 10 million family and friends who care for them would face unique challenges. Caregivers have their hands full with day-to-day issues. All the more reason to figure out ahead of time how to prepare for a natural disaster or unexpected major storm, when there’s often no time to stop and think.
The Hartford and the MIT AgeLab created The Calm Before the Storm: Family Conversations about Disaster Planning, Caregiving, Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia to help caregivers better plan for natural disasters by talking to – and planning with – family, friends and others. The booklet was developed from research conducted with family caregivers in different parts of the United States. It includes a variety of worksheets, checklists and helpful resources.
