As I sit at my desk writing this, I’m listening to the wind outside and waiting for a hurricane to arrive at my doorstep. Such events are no small concern, as I have myself, my husband, and 4 kids under 11 to keep safe. But even more, I have a list of clients, their families, and their caregivers to worry about as well.
Major weather events, such as hurricanes or snowstorms, are hard on everyone. But they are particularly difficult for vulnerable populations such as perennials and their caregivers.
For one thing, they are unpredictable. As much as we love our weather forecasters, it is not an exact science. Earlier this week we were preparing for a direct hit from a category 4 hurricane. Today, I’m getting a few light showers and a good breeze from a category 1 hurricane.
This makes a big difference.
