How does an elder with a walker get to safety in a severe storm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Plan ahead...: It is dangerous for everyone to get around during a severe storm, but elderly/young children/disabled folks are are higher risk--they need assistance from people around them. The best way is to plan ahead--go to storm-shelter before the storm hits. Listen to your local weather advisory/authority for evacuation instructions etc... Good luck.
