Honolulu (October 28, 2014) Our islands are vulnerable to natural disasters and emergencies can happen at anytime. When a major disaster occurs, our community and family's lives can change in an instant. When natural disasters, such as floods, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis strike, they affect thousands of people every year. In support of our Kupuna, Attention Plus Care will host a free Emergency Preparedness Seminar, themed "Are You Prepared" at the Moiliili Senior Center from 8:30am-10:30am. Attendees will learn more about the risks for emergencies and disasters, safety tips and steps on how to be prepared.

There will also be a special presentation by Wendy Gibson from the American Red Cross, Hawaii Chapter. Wendy will share important steps seniors can take to better prepare and protect themselves in their homes from such threats. The Red Cross in Hawaii prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. They teach lifesaving skills, helping people prevent and prepare for emergencies.

Jerray Braceros-Inofinada, RN and Client Service Supervisor for Attention Plus will lead the seminar. "Emergencies and disasters can strike quickly and without warning and can force our Kupuna to evacuate their neighborhood or be confined to their homes. This seminar equips our seniors with practical and important tools needed to protect themselves and cope with disaster by planning ahead. Even with physical limitations our seniors can still be prepared" said Braceros-Inofinada.

Emergency and Disaster Preparedness is one of many classes presented under Aging in Hawaii, an educational outreach program sponsored by Attention Plus Care. Classes are free and lead by a licensed nurse covering a variety of topics each month.
