Our Grandparents Support Network committee arranged for 18 grandparents to learn more about preparing for disasters. The group attended a workshop produced by AARP and presented by Audrey Hart, New Hanover County Emergency Management Specialist on October 27.

In addition to the instruction, the grandparents received an AARP emergency preparedness kit containing a mylar blanket, food, water, phone charger, first aid items, and personal hygiene supplies.
