I was awakened by a blaring alarm on my phone at 3:51 am Sunday morning. After the blaring alarm, and a woman's voice telling me to Drop! Cover! Hold On! This is the first time this has happened personally, although I only recently downloaded the app called MyShake. It was an earthquake warning or maybe a message stating there had been a 4.7 in my area. Missed the shaking, or the rolling this time. I did feel a quick jolt of the house around 10pm the evening before. Having lived in Southern California most of my life, this happens. But we all know that we're due for another "big one." When, where, why, and how are yet to be determined. But it will happen. Let's talk about our friends in North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida. I am not quite sure anyone could have predicted the damage, loss of life, the world turning upside down for hundreds, if not thousands of people due to Hurricane Helene. Florida's Gulf Coast has Milton on the way in the next couple of days. Another blast of Mother Nature driving its force down someone's throat. Blizzards, El Nino rains, tornados and more. Since we can't control any of these unprecedented events, the best we can do is prepare. And preparing means being proactive. Particularly for us folks who care for our senior population from assisted living to hospice. We're required to have Emergency Preparedness plans in place, but how active are we in reviewing, practicing, educating, and asking about these plans? So throw this task on your Things To Do List this week. Find your Emergency Preparedness Plan, dust it off, read it, and schedule a time to review it with your team. If you need examples, or resources from American Red Cross, National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, or Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, check out Hospice Pass the newsletter.
