Emergency Preparedness

As Hurricane Laura approaches southwest Louisiana, the Alzheimer’s Association’s Louisiana Chapter is urging you to make a plan and be prepared. Natural disasters can be particularly upsetting and disorienting for individuals living with Alzheimer’s or a related dementia. Please contact our 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900 if you are in need of immediate support or advice. You can also read our full recommendations for disaster preparedness here.
