Dear MIPPA Network,  

We hope this message finds you well. As we continue our important work in supporting older adults and adults with disabilities with accessing low-income program benefits, we want to highlight the critical importance of disaster preparedness in our communities. 

Recent events have shown us that natural disasters can strike with little warning.  We wanted to make sure the MIPPA network is aware of the educational and informational resources available on the NCOA website.  

Please utilize NCOA’s landing page for all resources related to disaster assistance: https://www.ncoa.org/older-adults/benefits/disaster-assistance/  

Here are a few key points to consider and resources you can share that have helpful content on them: 

  1. Familiarize yourself with available resources: 4 Free Tools to Help Caregivers Prepare for Emergencies  
  2. Create an Emergency Action Plan (EAP): Emergency Preparedness 101: What to Do Before, During, and After Disaster  
  3. Regularly update and test your EAP: Emergency Preparedness for Community-Based Organizations: Delivering Evidence-Based Programs  
  4. Be ready for immediate response(s): Disaster Assistance: 6 Helpful Programs for Older Adults  
  5. Ensure access to food: What Is the SNAP Emergency Application?  
  6. Long-term support: Finding Post-Disaster Resources for Older Adults  

We encourage you to share this message with your teams.  

Thank you for your dedication to serving those in your communities. If you have any questions or need further resources, please don’t hesitate to reach out. 

With appreciation, 
The CEW Team
