The world population is projected to rapidly age over the next 30 years.Given the increasing digital technology adoption amongst older adults,researchers have investigated how technology can support aging populations.However, little work has examined how technology can support older adultsduring crises, despite increasingly common natural disasters, public healthemergencies, and other crisis scenarios in which older adults are especiallyvulnerable. Addressing this gap, we conducted focus groups with older adultsresiding in coastal locations to examine to what extent they felt technologycould support them during emergencies. Our findings characterize participants'desire for tools that enhance community resilience-local knowledge,preparedness, community relationships, and communication, that help communitieswithstand disasters. Further, older adults' crisis technology preferences werelinked to their sense of control, social relationships, and digital readiness.We discuss how a focus on community resilience can yield crisis technologiesthat more effectively support older adults.
