Actress and (almost) real-life Disney Princess Kristen Bell did her part this weekend for Florida residents affected by Hurricane Irma.

While in Orlando for a film shoot (per the Associated Press), Bell dropped by a middle school serving as a storm shelter and performed songs from her 2013 Disney musical Frozen.

A clip of the performance shows Bell singing "For The First Time in Forever" on stage with the help of a pianist and a back-up singer.

The impromptu performance came after the actress tweeted calls for a pianist, a mic, and an amp in the Orlando area. She also rescued her Frozen co-star Josh Gad's parents and siblings, booking them a room in her Orlando hotel after they became stranded in Florida.

Later, Bell took the opportunity to meet with stranded senior citizens taking shelter at her hotel, even performing a duet "You Are My Sunshine" with one evacuee.
