Personal preparedness is a critical component of emergency planning. Yet, mainstream efforts to promote preparedness typically focus on people who are housed and have the resources to stockpile food and supplies, and shelter in place. Few communities have adequately prepared people with limited resources, such as people experiencing homelessness, for emergencies.
The National Health Care for the Homeless Council, Inc. created these tips for surviving extreme weather with input from people who are formerly and currently homeless and may be of interest to public health educators, emergency management officials, homeless service providers, and homeless community leaders.
