Access and Functional Needs Preparedness Planning for Rural Communities

Tuesday, April 21, 2020   (1-day course)

Yankton, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

This eight-hour planning and management-level course will assist in preparing communities to meet the assistance and safety needs of older adults, and people with access and functional needs during a crisis event in rural communities using an approach with the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Whole Community initiative. Due to the expected diverse student population, general information regarding crisis planning and response (incident command system (ICS), National Incident Management System (NIMS), etc.) will be discussed, flowing into a narrower discussion regarding the needs and care issues of older adults. Included in the discussion are short- and long-term care, pet care, medication, and the need for durable medical equipment and healthcare. The issue of individuals from assisted-living and nursing homes will be emphasized in lessons learned from various disasters.

Audience: Personnel included in the planning for access and functional needs populations, to include emergency managers, first responders, healthcare , nursing homes/assisted living, and public health.
