June is Hurricane Preparedness Month, a timely reminder for residents across Escambia and Santa Rosa counties to prepare before a storm threatens our area. While hurricane season officially runs from June 1 through November 30, experts agree that the best time to prepare is before a storm is even on the radar.
On September 6th, an Air Force veteran contacted the Florida Veteran Support Line, upset and crying. She and her children were living with family members, but she had just been told that they had to move out immediately. She feared being homeless and did not know where to turn, so she called the Florida Veteran Support Line. A Care Coordinator heard her story, validated her emotions, and promised to work tirelessly for her.
