- Seniors are one of the groups hardest hit by humanitarian crises. In this video, we focus on the specific challenges faced by older adults, and how to mitigate and prepare for those hurdles.
To learn more about the basics that everyone needs, checkout our comprehensive, FREE guide. It includes information on Canada's 9 most common natural hazards, a template for building your own emergency plan, and a checklist to help you purchase or build your emergency kit.

In the video, we also mention that you can prepare your own bulk dry goods using mylar bags and oxygen absorbers. Here is a video on that process: • Home Food Preservation...

If you're curious, here is the document from Help Age that inspired the senior-specific content in this video: www.helpage.or...
I keep two folders on my kitchen table. One is for in case of emergency containing lists of medications and illnesses, power of attorney, contacts, DNR, etc. The second one is In case of death with my life insurance, person in charge of final wishes, burial information, etc. because I have no family.
Very smart.❤
Many elders experience difficulties in processing what is being said when people talk fast. Such as in this video.
That is excellent feedback, thank you. Our presenter is a naturally fast speaker but I will let her know to slow it down. If it helps, you can click the little cog wheel (settings) in the bottom right of the video, and select "playback speed" to see options for TH-cam to slow the video down. It should work on any TH-cam video that features fast-talkers. :)
being 70 years young myself my biggest fear is supply chain challenges, especially for my meds. The past few years have shown us what can happen, and probably have a good chance of only getting worse. I digress.
Hi johnnyyukon7887 - I hear you! Happily we've recently partnered with JaseCase, who might be able to assist. You might be interested in their "Jase Daily" program, which is currently available in the USA and will hopefully be in Canada soon. Here's a link if you're curious: jasemedical.com/?rstr=16950
@@TotalprepareCa Thanks!
Get off the unnecessary medications, keep away from doctors except for injuries, lose weight by giving up sugars and eat fat not oils, eat meat, protein etc . Or the simple one is DIE. Which is what it is about after all.
You are right.
@@TotalprepareCa Costs way too much money!
You are assuming we will still have the ability to communicate with others outside our home. That will likely not be reality.
Thank you for not including an annoying noisetrack in the background.
A weather radio has a siren and flashing red light, use it to get attention from neighbors or passers by
Great tip, thank you!
Thank you so much very informative and it's good to help our seniors Jesus loves them!
We're so glad you enjoyed it. :)
Thanks for this. It would be good to have a segment on living alone and having a medical emergency... i.e. outside a larger emergency. It would give some peace of mind to many to have a well thought out plan (a modified go bag for going to emergency, for example) as it is terrible to be alone and need help. Having a plan could ease the natural feelings of despair about not having someone there to help. (I say this after 2 emergencies this year, and in one case, although I have emergency contacts, they were all unavailable. My ability to cope was complicated by the feeling of being alone).
That is a wonderful idea! I will be sure to add this to our content creation schedule. Thank you :)
@@TotalprepareCa That's great, and when it's done it will show up next time I search 😀
Jace case is exorbitantly expensive. If there is a medicine shortage, they will not be in a position to provide meds any more than anyone else. At some point, we will all be faced with no meds.
Quite a few senior citizens as well as handicapped people.. are not going to be able to prepare for anything.. I hate to say it but I see thousands of elderly people as well as handicapped people dead within the first few hours.. that is the Hardcore truth of it.. do I like it hell no unfortunately that is just how it is.. they have been playing with the electric around here where I'm at shutting it off and turning it back on.. it has been between 80° all the way up to 100° last Saturday it was 110°.. I am in Arkansas kind of makes me wonder when they're going to shut the electric off.. not just for a few hours but a few days in temperatures like that.. handicap and elderly people that are in nursing homes group homes are going to suffer the most.. do I think it is being done on purpose yes I do.. if you are capable of prepping being able to get out your first warning should be your last warning.. if you are in a big city get the hell out of the city.. if they announce anything on TV radio or Internet that's when you move.. I am already out in the countryside.. around here where I am at.. you will be met at the door with a loaded 44 ..and every other gun that these people have.. I mean these channels I stumbled on quite a few of these channels being prepared for senior citizens.. trying to be prepared for handicapped people.. if you are a walking Medicine Chest then sit down and let them take you.. because you are as good as dead anyways but without your medicine.. I get Social Security Disability myself just walking to the mailbox makes me scream and agony ..there's no way I'm going to survive it either.. we all know that the S H T F.. is going to happen we just don't know when..
Living in zone a for hurricane evacuation, I am well versed in prepping. We have had to leave twice in the last two years and I go to a special needs shelter with my two kitties. I have a pet stroller and a bug out bag packed at all times. I just need to put food in a tote bag to take along with us to the shelter. I hate all of this but it is normal here on the Gulf Coast and I was raised ina family that was always ready.
@michasmom💖be safe
We've been lucky these past four 🍀🌿🍀🍀 years.
There are a lot of seniors and disabled individuals that I hope people will consider in their local community preparation plans for disasters and emergencies. Age creeps up on you slowly and then bam, you find you're one of those elderly you use to talk about. I'm working on this for my Local Community Group both with a CERT program and a Local Civil Defense Program. I do not expect there to be Emergency Professionals as the country continues it's down hill slide.
Don't mention Soylent Green.
@user-nm7yl4ew6q...😂😆😬😳I was thinking the same thing!!! For all you kids who want to be "in the know" A true classic 70's movie. Charlton Heston if memory serves!
Great video and information for us seniors!
Thank you! We're very glad you enjoyed it. :)
The sad part is we older folks are irrelevant and expendable
@laurielenig9939 Not where this old lady comes from! Most are loved, valued and respected!
I think we need a list of phone numbers: family, clinics, etc.
So true! A contact list is an important part of any emergency plan.
Great video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am one of them but I am also a diabetic why haven't you made any meals for us?? I have so far bought 4 boxes of your 12 pack boxes but have not seen anything yet for diabetics.
more than likely because carbs are cheaper for them to produce
You make your own! The whole point is to become more self sufficient.
@@femvetusa5263 was I talking to you?? You do not work for the company!! Also you are in the States you are not Canadian which this company is Canadian!! So go keep your thoughts to your own country!!!
I quit Dr's and medications, in 2015 I am preparing. I am now homeless, and have no responsibility to a house and bills, and the danger of it exploding around me. I know that I will have to walk not drive, to a place of safety, so I will find one now. I am 69
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved!😊
A lot of these channels are ageist and ableist.
@lisa...cuz a lot of us are older, hence the age thing, A lot of us are DISABLED...so no, A lot of things are not ok for me to do. My husband does most, but that age thing, sometimes we hire out. You will be this age one day and I pray you do not get treated like your attitude.
Move out of the world now, make camp in the woods, that's how to prepare.
Fast talking, EXTREMELY ANNOYING not for elders for sure..i give it yhumbs down gor this reason.
