Scroll

The goal of this longitudinal in-depth interviewing study is to follow 60 older adults who were highly exposed to Hurricane Ian (2022). This powerful storm was just shy of a Category 5 hurricane and leveled several areas in Lee County, Florida. This study will document the recovery of older adults from three different communities, including their exposure and evacuation, mental and physical health impacts, and long-term recovery.
