FEWER PEOPLE USED SHELTERS DURING HURRICANE IAN HIGHLIGHTING SENIOR SUPPORT STRUGGLES

Hurricane Ian proved how unpredictable severe weather can be and further highlighted the critical need for proactive emergency preparedness measures.

With Florida being an attractive place for snowbirds and retirees, extra support is needed for aging populations who may struggle in the event of an evacuation.

“Many older residents feared how their bodies would fare at a shelter. They carried the pain of broken hips and bad knees and were worried about sleeping on the floor. They didn’t realize until it was too late that the counties offer special assistance.”

CHUG understands what it means to proactively create emergency preparedness strategies and have thorough evacuation plans on-hand when the unpredictable happens. Our approach involves assessing risks both seen and unseen to create a cohesive plan that is unique to your business’s needs.
