Emergency Preparedness
Being prepared to respond to and recover from an emergency is one of the best ways we have of ensuring the safety of the many homebound seniors being served by Meals On Wheels programs across the country.
The MOWAA Emergency Preparedness (EP) Standards and Implementation Guidelines—developed to help senior nutrition providers become better prepared to respond and recover from emergencies that have the potential to disrupt the vital services they provide—are a simple, yet powerful tool senior nutrition providers can use in their emergency planning efforts.
The MOWAA EP Standards and Implementation Guidelines and accompanying EP Training Courses have been made possible through a grant from the Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate/Federal Emergency Management Agency (EP&R/FEMA) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
