Our Community Emergency Response Team is always looking for individuals who are willing to volunteer and assist our community in times of crisis. Franklin County Emergency Management uses volunteers for events, activations, and emergency operations. Our community members have a wealth of experience and training. We needs members like you.
Special needs shelters are intended to provide, to an extent, an environment that can sustain an individual's level of health. If a person is medically stable but needs help with basic tasks or uses an electronic medical device and has no other evacuation options, they should pre-register for a special needs shelter.
If you are resident of Franklin County and you currently do not have transportation, you may register for transportation assistance in the event of a storm. During a hurricane that requires a mandatory evacuation of the county, Franklin County Emergency Management will provide transportation for residents to get to a shelter.
For information during a natural or man-made diaster call our office at 850-653-8977.

Freezing to near-freezing temperatures are expected over the next couple of days. Please be sure that all of your preparations include the following:
- Check on all elderly relatives and neighbors to ensure that they have proper ways to stay warm during the next few days as the temperature drops. Check to ensure that their heating devices are in working order to prevent any fire hazards.
- Pets should be brought indoors early. If you have outdoor pets ensure that they have an opportunity to get out of the cold. Providing warm blankets and bedding will help them stay warm if bringing them inside is not feasible.
- Take precautions to safeguard cold-sensitive plants and vegetation.
- Ensure that smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are operational.
- Never leave portable heating sources unattended.
- Maintain a safe distance between all flammable materials and heaters.
