Abilene, TX

AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2024

United Rescue Alliance converted emergency response courses into virtual and hybrid formats and promoted them through non-digital outreach.

The project gave older adults confidence and life-saving skills so they can respond effectively during emergencies and help their communities.
