As severe weather threatens Oklahoma today, the National Weather Service recommends checking on elderly neighbors who may not be aware. Make sure they know what to do and where to go in case of a weather emergency. Seniors should gather items including special foods, denture items, extra eyeglasses, hearing aid batteries, prescription and non-prescription medications that are regularly used, inhalers and other essential equipment to have on hand and ready to take with them if they need to leave home.
