Here are two recent reports on the topic:

1. From the NY academy of Medicine. Resilient Communities: Empowering Older Adults in Disasters and Daily Life. 108 pages.
2. Older people hit hardest by disasters – report. This news article is about a new UN report and some guidelines.

The report by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) and HelpAge International comes at a time when life expectancy continues to rise and the aging population continues to grow.

The report urged governments worldwide to include older people in all aspects of disaster management planning to reduce the death toll among those over 60.
