Members of the Disaster Planning and Preparedness Special Interest Group of the American Geriatrics Society have created an editable wiki site to post relevant info about disaster preparedness for the elderly. Find the site at http://elderlydisaster.pbworks.com/

We are soliciting help from our public health friends to build this website with useful information for geriatricians involved in disaster planning or response for seniors. Anyone can view the site, and GHL members may request editing privileges by hitting the "Edit" tab on any page. Alternatively you may send suggestions and information to  jrpierce@salud.unm.edu . 

The site is free for educational purposes, so please do not post any commercial products or advertisements. 

The AGS Special Interest Group would also appreciate feedback on the concept, usefulness and design.  Feel free to share the site with colleagues.
