Many people overlook the needs of their aging loved ones when creating emergency plans. In reality, Grandma may not have a plan at all. That's why it's essential to include her specific needs in your safety strategy.

In this episode, Jimmy and Megan discuss how disaster preparedness evolves as we (and our loved ones) age. They cover everything from slip-proof showers and sturdy handrails to go-bags tailored for seniors, providing insights into what it truly takes to keep elderly family members safe.

They share personal stories about the frantic search for grandparents after an earthquake, navigating insufficient facility plans, and finding creative solutions to real challenges, such as maintaining oxygen concentrators and keeping refrigerated medications cold during power outages.

Whether you're supporting a parent, grandparent, or planning for your own safety, this conversation is filled with practical tips and important questions to discuss at home. When emergencies arise, it's vital to include all your loved ones in the plan, especially your grandparents.

Join us and take the opportunity to become more confident in caring for your loved ones before the next disaster happens.
