Emergency guide for seniors
Posted
by DPS
The Australian Red Cross has launched a free booklet – Emergency REDiPlan: Household preparedness for seniors – to help people better prepare for an emergency.
The booklet includes four easy-to-follow steps and practical exercises to help seniors identify their needs during an emergency and develop an emergency plan for the household.
The four steps include being informed, making a plan, getting an emergency kit and knowing your neighbours.
The booklet is free and available online by visiting http://www.redcross.org.au and clicking on emergencies: prepare, respond and recover in the panel on the right.
You can also order a copy by phoning 1800 131 701.
