Disaster Preparedness for Seniors: A Comprehensive Guide for Healthcare Professionalsoutlines
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.
