Cleaning up after a disaster can be worse than the disaster itself. Disasters are upsetting experiences for everyone involved. Children, senior citizens, people with disabilities 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 disabilities may require additional assistance. It is important to let children and elderly people know that they are safe and that you will help them find a safe place to stay. It is important that you try to talk with them in a calm way. In this episode I also talk about personal safety after a disaster.
Highlights:
- The 3 “messes” that need cleaning, Emotional mess, Financial mess and Physical mess.
- How to avoid injury after a disaster.
