Mount Clemens Community Builds Resiliency for Disaster Response?

9/13/2023 (Permalink)

We are leaders in storm damage restoration services in Macomb County.

Our local Mount Clemens and New Baltimore team want everyone to be prepared for a disaster. During National Preparedness Month, the Mount Clemens community can proactively build resilience for disaster response through a multifaceted approach that involves education, collaboration, and community engagement.

During the month of September, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) focuses on encouraging individuals, families, businesses, and communities to take proactive steps to enhance their preparedness. Workshops, seminars, and webinars on disaster preparedness and response are planned and these sessions can cover topics like creating emergency kits, developing family communication plans, and understanding local hazards.

Community engagement is critical to building community engagement. This year’s focus is on reaching elderly vulnerable populations during and after a disaster strikes. According to the American Red Cross, some factors that make older adults more vulnerable after disasters may include:

• A greater likelihood of suffering from chronic conditions and the need for associated medications
• A greater reliance on assistive devices such as walkers or glasses, as well as support from caregivers and others
•  An increased likelihood of social isolation

By emphasizing education, collaboration, and community engagement, our local community can enhance its disaster response resilience, ensuring that its residents are better prepared to face and recover from disasters, big or small.
