Emergency Preparedness for Older People

About the Report

After the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks, a large population of older persona and people with disabilities living near the disaster area were left stranded in their homes without assistance. In response, the International Longevity Center-USA contacted local and citywide organizations that serve older people to find out how they had dealt with the emergency and to discover what resources were available to aid vulnerable sectors of the city in the event of a future emergency.
