Getting Ready During Hurricane Season

Hurricane season is here, and AARP Virgin Islands wants you to be ready.

Adults 60 and older are reminded to register with the Elder, Dependent Adult and Disabled Person Disaster Registry, which helps emergency responders locate, contact and help vulnerable islanders during emergencies, such as hurricanes and floods.

Other important steps to take include creating a disaster kit and making evacuation plans. Contact AARP Virgin Islands to request a copy of a disaster preparedness guidebook and to learn how to get on the registry.
