It's the Season to Be Hurricane Prepared!
Recently, our clients in our Supported Living and Residential Homes received pertinent hurricane-preparedness information at a special session at nearby scenic John Prince Park. Personalized plans are developed for the clients with the assistance of their coaches. The curriculum included but not limited to: the importance of having on hand emergency supplies,
non-perishable foods, extra clothing, two-week supply of medications (if applicable) etc. The clients learned how to pack a "TO GO BAG", food and water safety and much more.
As a part of our Supported Living programming, these informative sessions are held annually to assure that a customized plan is in place for our clients. To learn more about hurricane preparedness, please visit Palm Beach County Hurricane Preparedness website
