New Orleans is no stranger to hurricanes.

Since 2020, four hurricanes have ravaged the area, leaving residents in constant worry for the next big storm.

The Allstate Foundation partnered with Son of a Saint, a local nonprofit that provides fatherless boys with opportunities for mentorship, volunteerism and education, to help teens learn about disaster preparedness, and prepare for the next storm.

Local Allstate agents volunteered at workshops with the boys and their guardians to give them hands-on tools to help them feel less vulnerable and more prepared for climate disasters. They built disaster preparedness kits together and went over emergency escape plans.
