Of course, we\u2019ve gotten smarter and more sophisticated with the way these catastrophic events are forecasted and handled. Local officials have detailed plans for evacuations, and relief teams are at the ready to help however possible. Experience also counts for a lot. Think of how many disasters you\u2019ve witnessed up to this point, and how the learnings from those experiences will aid you and others in any future events. Seniors, in particular, have a wealth of knowledge to pull from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>#DYK | The Red Cross delivered more food, relief items, and shelter stays in 2017 than in the last four years combined?<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redcross.org\/local\/texas\/gulf-coast\/about-us\/news-and-events\/news\/2017-in-Review-Red-Cross-Delivers-More-Food-Relief-Items-and-Shelter-Stays-than-Last-4-Years-Combined-.html\">American Red Cross<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/calgary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/133\/2022\/09\/CALGARY-3-1-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"Steps Seniors Can Take to Prepare for Natural Disasters | Comfort Keepers Calgary\" class=\"wp-image-5538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/calgary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/133\/2022\/09\/CALGARY-3-1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/calgary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/133\/2022\/09\/CALGARY-3-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/calgary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/133\/2022\/09\/CALGARY-3-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/calgary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/133\/2022\/09\/CALGARY-3-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/calgary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/133\/2022\/09\/CALGARY-3-1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite this knowledge and expertise, seniors are often those most vulnerable during natural disasters because of chronic health conditions or diminished hearing and vision.
