• Assembling disaster supply kits
• Understanding local flood and evacuation zones
• Understanding how to get information and stay connected
• Current look at the tropics
• The county's role in response and recovery

“Part of our mission at Santa Rosa County Public Safety is to ensure that our community is prepared for when we experience our worst day. That day may come in the form of many different hazards," said Tom Lloyd, Director of Santa Rosa County Public Safety. "We want our community to join us as we show how we have ensured our readiness for when a disaster strikes and to share how citizens can do their part in an all-hazard, whole-community approach to prepare, respond, and recover from whatever comes our way.”



Both workshops will be held at the Santa Rosa County Emergency Operations Center located at 4499 Pine Forest Rd, Milton, FL 32583. Participation is free of charge and residents are encouraged to bring the whole family!
