PREPARE

How can you prepare your senior living or long-term care workforce to handle an emergency or disaster?

Equip your staff with the skills needed to handle natural disasters and other public health emergencies with PREPARE, a train-the-trainer program. You'll be able to assure residents and families that your community is ready to:

• Meet the special needs of older adults in your care
• Recognize, respond to, and mitigate both manmade and natural threats
• Take a coordinated approach to alert and involve local, state, and national agencies
