The California Department of Aging (CDA) is offering free guides
to help communities prepare for and navigate emergencies, as well
as connect with aging resources. These resources are available in
seven languages: English, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Vietnamese,
Armenian, and Tagalog.
In collaboration with the Governor’s Offices of Emergency
Services and the Department of Rehabilitation, CDA developed an
Emergency
Preparedness Guide. This guide includes practical tips and
resources to help older adults and people with disabilities
prepare for disaster like wildfires, earthquakes, and power
outages. The guide can be ordered at no cost at
agingcalifornia.org.
CDA is also offering a
Wildfire Crisis Recovery Resources Flyer, tailored for both
the Los Angeles Region and statewide audiences, to provide
information to those impacted by wildfires. The flyer can be
downloaded in multiple languages, available
here.
Finally, CDA is making their Aging Resource Guide available at no
cost, which connects older adults, families, caregivers, and
professionals with a variety of services and supports. The guide
can be ordered at no cost at
agingcalifornia.org.
