Dr.

Visalakshi Srinvasan explains that aging in place is possible if individuals start taking care of their health early on.

By focusing on preventive healthcare, managing chronic conditions, staying active, eating well, and seeking support when needed, seniors can maintain their independence and quality of life as they grow older.

It is essential to start these habits at a younger age to ensure a successful aging process and the ability to remain in one's own home for as long as possible.

Understanding Florida's Hurricane Season: Preparation and Evacuation

Florida’s hurricane season runs from June through November, bringing risks of heavy rain, flooding, and strong winds.

Preparation and a clear evacuation plan are critical for safety.

  • Emergency Kit: Stock up on water, non-perishable food, flashlights, extra batteries, medications, and important documents in waterproof bags.
  • Home Safety: Secure windows with storm shutters or plywood, bring outdoor items inside, and check generators if available.
  • Evacuation Routes: Know your local evacuation zones and routes; practice leaving early to avoid last-minute rush.
  • Communication: Keep a battery-powered radio, charge devices, and have a family contact plan if cell networks fail.
  • Pets: Arrange shelters or pet-friendly accommodations ahead of time; never leave pets behind during evacuation.
  • Transportation: Maintain a full gas tank before the storm and keep your vehicle stocked with essentials.

Tip: Prepare well in advance—don’t wait until a hurricane watch or warning is issued to gather supplies or finalize plans.

⚠️ Safety: Follow official advisories from the National Hurricane Center and local authorities, and evacuate immediately when ordered.
