Hurricane preparedness isn't just about supplies and emergency kits, it's also about looking out for one another.
As we continue to prepare for hurricane season, take a few minutes to check in with friends, family, and neighbors who may need extra support before a storm.

Consider reaching out to:

💙 Elderly neighbors
💙 Families with young children
💙 Individuals with accessibility needs
💙 Anyone who may need a helping hand

Ask if they have a plan. Offer help with supplies, home prep, or an emergency contact list. A quick call, text, or visit can make a big difference.

Strong communities are built on neighbors helping neighbors. When we prepare together, we recover together.
