Emergency Preparedness for Older Adults and Disabled Americans
The Ready America campaign is designed to educate and empower Americans to prepare for and respond to emergencies.

By completing an online survey, Seniors get a free "Ready Seniors Checklist" to help develop an action plan based on individual needs and preferences. The checklist guides Seniors through different types of emergencies and offers useful preparation tips.
This home is for persons 60+ years of age, which provides a safe environment for those in crises or unsafe conditions. This is a collaborative project of the Cleveland Department of Aging, Fairhill Center, and the Cuyahoga County Department of Senior and Adult Services.
