Disaster PrepWise-Caregiver

The Disaster PrepWise (DPW) intervention consists of five interactive modules and two supplemental sections (special topics and resources on various types of disasters). The five modules are: (1) Complete a Personal \& Household Assessment, (2) Develop a Personal Emergency Network, (3) Develop Emergency Information \& Gather Important Documents, (4) Keep a 3-5 Day Supply of Medications \& Medical Supplies, and (5) Build an Emergency Supply Kit. Through an initial visit (IV1) and a follow-up phone conversation 4 weeks later (IV2), the interventionist will develop a personalized disaster management plan and provide it to the participant for sharing with family and friends. Eight weeks after the initial session, the interventionist will make a final follow-up call (IV3) to provide any additional assistance caregivers may need.
