Alert Franklin is a mass notification system. This system allows Franklin County Emergency Management and the National Weather Service to send emergency messages to your phone, email or both. These include but are not limited to, watches and warning, weather advisories, and evacuation orders. For more information or to subscribe, click the read more button below.
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.

A new addition to help us serve Franklin County! 🚛
Franklin County Emergency Management applied for a grant through the Gary Sinise Foundation to support our work alongside first responders, and we were thrilled to be awarded funding to purchase a new flatbed trailer!
This trailer will help us transport equipment and supplies to support emergency response and community needs. For a small, rural county, support like this makes a big difference.
Our team and volunteers gathered for a special thank-you to the Gary Sinise Foundation. We are grateful for your investment in our community and the people who serve it! 💙
