According to data from a new module in the 2025 National Survey of Area Agencies on Aging (72% response rate) 65% of AAAs reported that a community within their service area has experienced a significant emergency or disaster within the past five years. This presentation will share nationally-representative data about the ways in which AAAs support older adults to prepare for emergencies, help the community prepare to respond to consumers, and ensure consumer safety. AAAs support individual emergency preparedness through providing educational resources (67%), addressing emergency preparedness as a standard part of the care planning process (45%), and maintaining a prioritized consumer registry (44%) . AAAs also helps the community prepare to respond to consumer needs during disasters: 63% are involved in emergency planning collaboratives, 47% require providers to have emergency response plans in place, 45% are in regular two-way communication with EMS. The data will be supported by case examples describing how AAA emergency preparedness and response plays out before, during and after a natural disaster, including lessons learned.","cbCaibWztpk7FBrH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibWztpk7FBrH","pdf",1134251,"English","# Overview\n## National survey findings\n## AAA support for individual preparedness\n## AAA role in community response and safety","[{\"question\":\"Why do natural disasters disproportionately affect older adults?\",\"answer\":\"Global climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of natural disasters, creating outsized impacts on older adults.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the 2025 National Survey of Area Agencies on Aging show about local disaster experience?\",\"answer\":\"Survey data indicates that many AAAs reported a significant emergency or disaster within their service area during the past five years.\"},{\"question\":\"How do AAAs help older adults and the community prepare and respond during disasters?\",\"answer\":\"AAAs provide educational resources, integrate preparedness into care planning, maintain a prioritized consumer registry, and coordinate response efforts such as planning collaboratives, provider response plans, and communication with EMS, supported by case examples.\"}]","WHEN DISASTER STRIKES - Area Agencies on Aging Prepare and Respond | PDF",1790646444]
