Prepared Today, Safe Tomorrow: Empowering Seniors and Caregivers for Emergencies

September 2025

Emergencies can feel overwhelming—but with the right preparation, they don’t have to be. Being ready not only provides peace of mind, but also ensures that seniors, caregivers, and families can face unexpected challenges with confidence.

That’s the focus of Prepared Today, Safe Tomorrow, a powerful community discussion created to support seniors, family caregivers, and anyone looking to strengthen their household’s readiness.

Whether you’re caring for an aging parent, supporting a loved one living with dementia, or simply planning ahead, this session offers reassurance: you are not alone. Many of us share the same questions:

• What do I pack in an emergency kit?

• How will I keep my loved one calm during an evacuation?

• Who can I count on if I can’t be there?

This event brings clarity and direction to those concerns, covering:

✅ What seniors and families can do now to prepare for emergencies
✅ How to create a safe, resilient home environment
✅ Building an emergency kit with both practical items and comfort essentials
✅ Lessons from real-life senior care preparedness scenarios
✅ Special strategies for supporting individuals living with dementia during evacuations

The session features an expert panel including Lena Huang (Alzheimer’s Association, San Diego/Imperial Chapter), Bryan Devore (Berkshire Hathaway Home Services California Properties, DRE #01397835), and Brooke Martindale (Cheer Home and Health Care). Each panelist brings unique expertise and compassionate insight, offering tools and strategies that families can put into practice right away.

By preparing today, we can build safer, more resilient homes for tomorrow—protecting the independence, dignity, and well-being of seniors in our community.
