Everyone in Australia should prepare for natural disasters. If you support a person living with dementia, it’s important that you think carefully how you can best help them and protect both you and them from harm during a natural disaster.
The Carer Ready Guide: Preparing for a Natural Disaster can help you think about these issues.
The Carer Ready Guide is a flip chart designed to help people who support family members living with dementia prepare for a natural disaster and create a family emergency plan that addresses the specific needs of those they care for.
The guide should be used along with the Red Cross Rediplan.
