Emergency For Elderly The D.ivis County Council on Aging, in conjunction with the Davis County Emergency Services is involved with the ongoing discussion and preparation for a possible disaster in the county. THE COUNCIL on Aging realizes that the frail, elderly and handicapped have different and more specialized needs than the general public. For this reason the Agency has been given the responsibility of preparing for the possible evacuation and shelter, as well as providing information to those people having special needs. For the next few weeks we will be publishing articles in the local paper which will give you type and information on what to do in case of an emergency. We hope that everyone, especially the frail, elderly and handicapped of any age will watch for these articles. vidual emergency or accident.

Several people were out of their homes for more than 24 hours without their necessary medication and many did not remember the name or dosage to have the prescription refilled, however almost everyone did take a purse or wallet with them as they left their homes. Flad these people had a list of their medications it would have been relatively easy to have the prescription refilled.
