Disaster Preparedness for Seniors: A Comprehensive Guide for
Healthcare Professionals outlines specific disaster scenarios for
homebound, community, hospitalized, long term care, homeless and
aged veterans. Chapters are written by a diverse group of authors,
all of whom offer insight and expertise in training healthcare
professionals in preparing for disasters. Topics include myths and
realities of natural disasters and disaster preparedness for
special populations of elders-the acute care elderly, the
community-dwelling elderly, home based primary care senior
veterans, the immune-compromised elderly, those with multiple and
co morbid illnesses, the long-term care elderly, those elderly at
the end of life and the effects of disaster on caregivers. A
significant portion of the book is also devoted to training,
competencies, literacy, cultural competency and resilience in
disaster preparedness as well as the role of the academic medical
center. The volume concludes with coverage of the management of
behavioral, medical and psychological consequences of disasters.
Disaster Preparedness for Seniors: A Comprehensive Guide for
Healthcare Professionals is an important new volume and will serve
as a guide for the development of programs, policies and procedures
for evacuation of seniors during various disaster scenarios.
