Senior Resource Alliance has once again begun efforts to prepare Central Florida seniors for the upcoming start of hurricane season in June.
This time, preparation came in the form of free supplies. On April 25 and 26, the nonprofit gave away emergency preparedness kits, including items like fans, portable chargers and batteries.

Seniors, age 65 and older, who were impacted by Hurricane Ian were eligible to receive the kits. The 2022 hurricane led to over $109 billion in damage and is still impacting many seniors to this day. Because of this, SRA is making sure that Hurricane Ian victims will be ready in the event of another significant storm this year.
