Seniors Stay Safe in Storms | Tampa News
Description
Seniors in Hillsborough County got a vital hurricane prep boost at a special Fire Rescue workshop, learning how to navigate shelters, evacuation routes, and — crucially — healthy emergency food. With mobility and transport challenges making them more vulnerable, experts stressed that disaster readiness isn’t just about getting out — it’s about staying well. A dietitian warned against junk food “storm rations,” urging instead three days of heart-healthy, high-fiber, protein-rich staples to avoid health crises. Attendees like Mel Noriega said the session eased anxiety and reminded them that preparation is the best defense against storm stress.
