Welcome to the Franklin County, Florida Emergency Management Department's home page.
Putting together a web site is a whole new adventure for us. So, please excuse our dust as we construct what we hope will be an interesting and informative site for locals and visitors alike. Also, since we are in the early stages of design and construction, you will probably notice frequent changes in the content and format of the individual sections of the site as we try to put it together. If there is something we have missed or messed up, or something that you would like included or expanded, please give us a call or drop us a line, and we'll do what we can to help you help us to get it right for all the folks who visit the site and our county.
What we hope to create/communicate with this web site is an effective source of information that accurately depicts the history and hopes of the emergency management activities within the county which will affect both our residents and our visitors.
* We will have discussion pages on preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation plans and activities.
* We will set out the development and timing of our evacuation plans for people with special (medical) needs, the transportation disadvantaged and our regular population.
* We'll discuss some of the federally mandated programs, such as the Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS), the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Incident Command System (ICS).
* We will have a page on current weather and/or disaster recovery conditions to help visitors make their vacation plans and to help residents keep track of what's going on in the county.
* We will also have a page full of internet links that will be able to take you places you never knew existed.
