ABSTRACT
This reprinted chapter originally appeared in Journal of Gerontological Social Work, 2020, 63[6-7], 694-695. (The following of the original article appeared in record 2021-00510-028.) Comments on an article by N. Kusmaul et al. (see record 2018-49264-004). Kusmaul et al. explained that one role of gerontological social workers in disaster preparedness and response is to identify unique needs, risk factors, and strengths possessed by older adults during periods of disaster. We would like to describe how a developing study of ours strives to understand these characteristics as they pertain to the "oldest old"-that is, adults ages 85 and over-in the midst of the disaster spurred by the current global spread of COVID-19.
