Synopsis

A winter storm can leave your home without heat and your usual help unable to reach you. The hardest decision may be when to stop waiting, postpone a trip, or move somewhere warm while the route still works.

Winter Storm Preparedness for Seniors helps adults 60+ build a plan around their own home, health needs, mobility, and support. Family members and trusted helpers can use it to agree on practical tasks while respecting the older adult's choices.

Inside, you will learn how to:

• Build a home warmth plan, monitor indoor conditions, and check backup heating against fire, electrical, and carbon monoxide safety requirements.
• Turn local winter alerts into actions, including earlier errands, postponed trips, and confirmed snow or ice removal.
• Record plans verified with your pharmacist or care provider for refills, medicine storage, medical equipment, and care that road closures could interrupt.
• Prepare food, water, lighting, charging, and offline contacts around the everyday functions you need to keep working.
• Agree on specific check-in and support roles, with a backup if the person you usually rely on cannot get through.
• Set stay-or-relocate triggers and confirm a heated destination, an accessible pickup route, transportation, and the essentials that must travel with you.

Ten practical planning tools turn the guidance into your own written arrangements. These include My Home Warmth & Heating Backup Plan, Safe Backup Heat & CO Check, Snow, Ice & Travel Decision Plan, and the Stay-or-Relocate Winter Decision Sheet.

Work through what could fail, what that would mean for you, the action you will take, and the backup you have actually confirmed. After-the-Storm Reset & Review helps you check what worked, recharge or replace supplies, and improve the plan before the next storm.

This educational guide uses U.S. preparedness resources and local verification. Medical, medication, heating, and electrical decisions require the appropriate professional guidance. Current instructions from local authorities come first.

Make the key calls, confirm the route, and put your winter decisions on paper before you need them.
