How to Cope with Disaster in Storms and Storm Shelters

Disasters are upsetting experiences for everyone involved. The emotional toll that disasters bring can sometimes be even more devastating than the financial strains of damage and loss of home, business or personal property.

Children, senior citizens, people with access or functional needs, and people for whom English is not their first language are especially at risk. Children may become afraid and some elderly people may seem disoriented at first. People with access or functional needs may require additional assistance. We will cover how to cope with disasters in the following areas:

• Understanding the Events of the Disaster
• Signs of Disaster-Related Stress
• Easing Your Stress
• Helping Kids Cope
