FPL brings hurricane meal kits to the doorsteps of Fort Myers seniors

On Tuesday, FPL said the two groups went door-to-door to deliver hurricane preparedness meal kits to 500 older adults who they say might be unable to leave their homes or receive deliveries after a storm.

FPL said each kit contained a three-day supply of shelf-stable food, snacks and water to help seniors stay fed and safe during a hurricane.
