Hurricane Season…

Living in Florida, Hurricane Season has arrived.  That means it’s time to stock up on canned foods, water, batteries, flashlights, and maybe even buy a generator.  Making an emergency plan with your family is also important in case you happen to get separated from each other due to certain circumstances.

One thing you may not be aware of that could be equally important is signing up for the Special Needs Registry.  The registry is available in every state to those who are elderly or disabled and live independently.  It’s a totally voluntary service but is available to you in case you need assistance evacuating from your home.

I know it may seem like one more thing you have to do when hurricane season arrives but  you don’t have to wait for a storm to be on the way.  You can sign up for the registry at your leisure but, sooner is always better than later.  It’ll be one less thing to think about later on and probably make the whole experience of the inclement weather a better one in the long run.

Thanks for reading..
