    National Preparedness Month Comes to a Close**September 29, 2023**Older adults and people with disabilities are disproportionately impacted by all types of disasters.

They may lose critical home and community-based services and be unnecessarily forced into institutional settings (such as nursing homes), or even experience higher fatality rates. Those who are living with dementia-related health conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease, may also experience extra risk.
