💔 **Navigating Natural Disasters with Parkinson’s** 💔

The devastating fires in Los Angeles are a stark reminder of how unpredictable life can be—especially for those living with Parkinson’s. During emergencies, staying safe and managing your symptoms can feel overwhelming.

Here are some tips to help you or your loved one navigate natural disasters:

🌟 **Prepare Your Essentials:**

- Keep medications, medical records, and assistive devices in an easy-to-grab bag.
- Include snacks, water, and a list of emergency contacts.

🌟 **Stay Calm:**

- Stress can worsen symptoms. Practice deep breathing or mindfulness exercises to stay centered.

🌟 **Communicate:**

- Let loved ones know your evacuation plan and keep them updated.

🌟 **Lean on Community:**

- Reach out to support groups or organizations like PCLA for guidance and to be connected to resources.

We know this is a challenging time for many in our community. Remember, you’re not alone. If you need additional resources or someone to talk to, PCLA is here for you. Together, we’ll get through this. 💙

✨ **The Power of Words in the Parkinson’s Community** ✨

As we step into the new year, many of us reflect on resolutions. For the Parkinson’s community, resolutions often carry a deeper meaning—a commitment to resilience, connection, and self-care.

This year, we encourage you to focus on **one word** that resonates with your journey.

Whether it’s *hope,* *strength,* *patience,* or *growth,* let this word be your guide. Words have power. They inspire, motivate, and remind us of what truly matters.

What’s your word for 2025?
