abstract="Disaster emergencies are occurring with seemingly increased frequency. The likelihood that gerontological nurses will be involved in a disaster scenario, regardless of practice setting, is real. Instead of recoiling from this likelihood, the best approach is preparedness. In this article we examine what constitutes a disaster and how it differs from an emergency, as well as the potential impact of a disaster on older adults in general and those with dementia in particular. Concepts of sheltering in place, caring for older adults with dementia in a temporary shelter, and partnering with nurses in acute care settings are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
