Spain signs agreement to include older people in emergency preparedness
The Interior Ministry and HelpAge International España signed a protocol to incorporate older people’s needs and participation throughout emergency planning and response.
Planned work includes research, emergency-professional training, exercises and simulations focused on older people. The ministry also identifies accessible information, continuity of care and active participation as priorities. The agreement addresses preparation as well as prevention, response and recovery.
