Hurricane season is here, and it’s important for everyone in our community to be ready. Older adults and individuals with medical needs may face added challenges during storms, so having the right tools and information can make all the difference. To help with preparation, we’re sharing two key resources to help our community prepare:
📘 Disaster Resource Guide for Older Adults
This guide provides practical tips on creating an emergency plan, staying safe during storms, and preparing in advance.
🏥 Special Needs Registry for Hurricane Shelters
If you or a loved one require a shelter due to medical conditions or rely on electricity for treatments or equipment, you may be eligible for Alachua County’s Special Needs Registry.
Please take a few moments to review these resources, share them with family and neighbors, and help ensure our community remains safe, resilient, and supported during hurricane season.
