The baby boom generation were born between 1946 and 1964 and are
the largest population cohort in US history. They should number
about 90 million by mid-century, more than doubling their current
size. The massive increase in seniors and relative decline of those
of working age in the US is mirrored in almost all the world's most
populous countries. This book connects the dots between the US baby
boom generation and the marked increase in natural and human-caused
disasters. It evaluates options available to seniors, their aids,
for and not-for and for-profit organizations and government to
reduce vulnerability to hazard events. These include coordinated
planning, risk assessment, regulations and guidelines, education,
and other risk management efforts. Using interviews with experts,
cases studies, especially of Superstorm Sandy, and literature, it
culls best practice and identify major gaps. It is original in
successfulness in making the connection between the growing group
of vulnerable US seniors, environmental events, and risk management
practices in order to isolate the most effective lessons learned.
