Are You Storm Ready?

Hurricane season can be especially dangerous for older adults facing mobility challenges, health concerns, and isolation. That’s why Seniors in Service launched the new Senior Disaster Support Program — helping seniors prepare before storms arrive and recover afterward with compassion and community support. From delivering hurricane preparedness guides to helping create evacuation plans and providing recovery assistance, volunteers are helping ensure no senior has to weather a storm alone.

Hurricane season is officially here. Are you prepared? Many seniors in our community aren’t, and that’s why we’re stepping up with our NEW Senior Disaster Support Program! With unique challenges like mobility limitations, health concerns, and isolation, seniors are often the most vulnerable during storms.

This month, our Seniors in Service van embarked on its first disaster mission, delivering Hurricane Resource Guides packed with life-saving tips to mobile home parks in Pinellas County. These guides are just the beginning. Our program empowers seniors with preparedness, relief, and recovery support, because no one should face a storm alone.

We’re calling on compassionate volunteers to join us in making a difference. Whether you’re helping a senior build an evacuation plan, delivering emergency supplies, or offering a kind ear during the rebuilding process, your time can be life changing.
