As Hurricane #Dorian approached, the hardworking men and women of the State of Florida answered the call, and I commend them for their efforts to ensure communities were prepared.
Floridians across the state can rest assured knowing that those working for them are competent, efficient and ready to face any emergency situation head on. Details here - bit.ly/2k4o6xL
And I especially want to thank those at the Florida Division of Emergency Management @FLSERT. Without them leading the way, we would not have been able to prepare so well. Thank you!
