No one left behind: building inclusive, community-led emergency management for ageing demographics

As populations age, communities face growing challenges in supporting older adults during crises, due to limited resources and insufficient preparedness tailored to their needs. This study explores how community resilience and social capital can be strengthened to support older adults during emergencies, given the limitations of public sector resources and based on the premise that older adults are better prepared to respond to and recover from disasters when their social networks are strengthened.
