Natural Disasters in Hawaii and California

Written by Argentum | August 19, 2023 at 4:30 PM

Argentum has been closely following the tragic wildfires in Maui, Hawaii. We are working with the Maui County Office on Aging and Aging and Disability Resource Center which is responsible for senior living and similar communities in Maui on senior and provider needs as a result of the wildfires affecting the island. Our offers of assistance are being considered and we will provide information on requests as soon as determined by officials on the ground.
 
Our thoughts and prayers are also with seniors, providers and all who may be affected by Hurricane Hilary as it tracks to effect areas including southern California and potentially other areas in the Southwest United States.

The California Assisted Living Association (CALA) is closely monitoring the storm and is ready to assist with coordination should members have the need to evacuate. California requires robust emergency preparedness requirements which CALA was instrumental in developing and has a number of resources for members which can be found here. We will be in contact with CALA and other Argentum State Partner organizations for any assistance they need and will communicate developments including requests for assistance as soon as possible.
