#TipTuesday: September is National #PreparednessMonth and we're using this time to remind you that climate disasters are happening more frequently. Today's tip is: 📝 Make a plan to stay safe. 🤔 Think about emergencies that may require your family to shelter in place (tornado) and those that could require evacuation (hurricane or flood). If you need to leave, think about where you will go, how you will get there, where you will stay and what you’ll take with you. Plan well in advance! We're here to help! #NPM2024

One year ago today, #Idalia made landfall in FL as a Category 3, devastating communities in the Big Bend area with its storm surge. Earlier this month, #Debby took a similar track, bringing heavy rainfall and localized flooding to some of the same areas. As disasters become more frequent, the Red Cross urges Floridians to take time this holiday weekend to get their households ready for emergencies. Here are some tips 👉 rdcrss.org/3MosDEQ.

The Red Cross has reached out to hundreds of neighbors in Sarasota and Manatee Counties that were flooded by #Debby. We are grateful for this group of recovery volunteers who came from across the county to meet with impacted residents at community recovery centers to offer assistance. #ThankfulThursday

We love working with partners after a disaster like Hurricane #Debby. Shoutout to Operation BBQ Relief who cooked up some hot & hearty meals in the days following the flooding. Red Cross volunteers were happy to deliver and serve some of these meals at community resource centers in Sarasota & Manatee.

It’s been 3 weeks since Hurricane #Debby made landfall in Florida, flooding entire neighborhoods in several counties. Hundreds of people -- including longtime Sarasota resident Mary Ann Miller -- sustained significant damage. Red Cross volunteers Yvonne and Pam were there to offer comfort and support through this rough time. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, volunteers are able to deliver recovery assistance into the hands of residents like Mary Ann. You can help by making a financial donation or becoming a volunteer. Visit redcross.org.

During hurricane season, it's easy to forget about tornadoes. Unfortunately, FL ranks near the top of states with the most twisters since 1950. Identify your safe place -- in advance -- in your home, workplace or school.
