An Act to improve resilience in older adults and people with disabilities during public health, environmental or technological emergencies

This bill requires Massachusetts state agencies to plan for emergencies by considering factors like health, mental well-being, and cultural background for older adults (60+) and people with disabilities. It mandates local councils on aging and housing authorities to create a confidential inventory of each person's specific needs - including medical equipment, shelter requirements, and pet care - to be shared with emergency responders. The bill defines "essential services" as necessary support like medical care, food, shelter, and protection from hazards, without taking individuals into custody without consent. This inventory must be kept private and shared only under privacy laws, ensuring tailored emergency assistance for vulnerable residents.
