Update: Registration Full for Ready Seniors Virtual Workshop 10/21

October 7, 2020

Update: Unfortunately registration is full for this workshop. In case of cancellations, there is a wait list. Contact Rhonda Schwartz to be added to the wait list at Rhonda.Schwartz@acl.hhs.gov.

Wednesday, October 21, 2020 from 10 AM - 3:30 PM ET

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.

Register for the virtual workshop.
