Austin is prepared! 💪🏾 United Way of Metro Chicago and @act.chicago hosted disaster preparedness workshops for residents to get ready for flooding and other potential disasters.

🔦 @redcrossil presented tools and tips related to severe weather and house fires. All attendees also received a disaster preparedness kit, including power banks, flashlights, ponchos, fire aid kits, and more.

👉🏾 United Way’s community partners in Little Village and Brighton Park are also hosting disaster preparedness workshops. Supported by @verizon, United Way is grateful to be a part of the United We Prepare initiative and help residents meet their immediate needs now — and when disaster strikes.
