The Kūpuna Collective: Older Adults and Community Resilience
The needs of older adults must be considered during emergencies and natural disasters. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a network of kūpuna-serving organizations called the Kūpuna Collective mobilized to provide critical support including meals, food boxes, and vaccine outreach. This webinar will describe the Kūpuna Collective's efforts, lessons learned, future strategies, and opportunities to empower older adults to take active roles in supporting resilience efforts.
