With Hurricane #Dorian moving past Florida, our state agencies and personnel are focusing on recovery and restoration efforts along the East Coast. Florida is blessed to have some of the best emergency management officials and first responders in the nation.
I could not be prouder to lead such a talented and selfless team of public servants. Over the past week, response teams from the county level to the @FLGuard demonstrated incredible professionalism in the face of a Category 5 hurricane.
In coordination with our local and federal partners, Florida stands ready to respond to any emergency as we move forward this hurricane season. Click here for the state’s most current updates regarding Hurricane #Dorian - bit.ly/2m1dU9V
