Hurricane Ian has devastated many homes and businesses over this past week. Many have been left with absolutely nothing. You can help by donating to the American Red Cross as they lead the way with disaster relief efforts. Simply go to redcross.org to donate as little as $10. You can also text IAN to 90999 to make your $10 donation. YOU can make an impact from miles away as the American Red Cross helps those devastated by Hurricane Ian.

Now is also a good time to make sure your Emergency Preparedness Plan is in place. A natural disaster can happen at anytime and being prepared is extremely important. Find a full emergency preparedness checklist for your family here.
