On Thursday, October 21st, the Seneca Nation Area Office for the Aging (AOA) held a drive-thru distribution on both the Allegany and Cattaraugus territories to hand out Emergency Kits to our Elders.
With the seasons changing and the WNY Southern Tier “lake effect” weather heading our way, it’s important to be prepared. AOA staff wanted to make sure our Elders have an Emergency Kit on hand to help them stay safe in the event of a power outage or weather emergency.
The FREE kits included an emergency radio/flashlight (solar, crank, and rechargeable), safety light sticks, hand warmers, a survival blanket, antibacterial wipes, a first aid kit and medical information sheet.
Kits were available on a first come, first serve basis. Any questions or concerns about this distribution may be directed to Melissa Shaw, AOA Outreach Coordinator at (716) 532-5777 ext. 5501.
