Owners and agents should generally follow CDC guidelines and the directions given by local health officials for emergency preparedness. Chapter 38 of Handbook 4350.1, Emergency and Disaster Guidance, should also be consulted. The CDC provides guidance for communities, businesses and schools that can assist housing providers. The CDC has also provided specific guidance for retirement communities and independent living facilities, including federally assisted independent housing with support services for older adults.
