O knihe

Disasters of all types affect older adults disproportionately; particularly those with chronic diseases, disabilities, or conditions that need further help to depart from associated unsafe space and live through an incident. For this reason, emergency managers got to acknowledge that the frail senior area unit has a special-needs population and develop ways to satisfy their wants. The term ¿frail elderly¿ refers to older adults United Nations agency has serious, chronic health issues that would build them a lot of vulnerable throughout disasters [Fernandez, 2002]. Disasters are available in several forms, as well as severe weather-related events, earthquakes, large-scale attacks on civilian populations, technological catastrophes, and grippe pandemics.During disasters, the seniors and also the disabled are not as capable of evacuating their homes quickly and as a result, could also be a lot liable to injuries and death. Though federal, state, and native emergency management programs exist, some people, notably the senior and disabled, fail to receive the eye they need and miscarry the cracks.
