When Hurricane Ian struck Florida
in September, the storm claimed 149
lives, a majority over the age of 65.
“Seniors were disproportionately
affected by Hurricane Ian due to their
limited mobility, isolation, and the

evacuate. Now, with another hurricane
season underway, we must ensure that
they have the necessary support and
resources to stay safe.”
