Abilene, TX
AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2024
Project Category: Digital Connectivity for Disasters
Description: Older adults in West Texas faced high disaster risks but lacked accessible training. United Rescue Alliance converted emergency response courses into virtual and hybrid formats and promoted them through non-digital outreach. Trainings covered preparedness, mental health and neighborhood response. Fifty-eight people enrolled, with many completing multiple courses. The project gave older adults confidence and life-saving skills so they can respond effectively during emergencies and help their communities.
