Each year, JFS plays a vital role in identifying and assisting vulnerable seniors who live alone, with no family nearby to help in the event of a hurricane. JFS utilizes our Storm Response Team (SRT) volunteers to assist by calling vulnerable seniors pre and post storm to check in on them. After a storm, our SRT will go door-to-door, to check in on seniors who have registered with JFS to receive much needed essential supplies, such as water and food. All SRT volunteers will be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement to protect the personal information of community members, as well as, attend a zoom training in preparation for this role.
