When a hurricane or other natural disaster threatens Florida, the state’s Division of Emergency Management (DEM) is responsible for coordinating the state’s response and recovery efforts. The DEM website is a good resource for information on preparing for and responding to disasters.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) also provides assistance to Florida residents and businesses after a disaster. FEMA’s website has information on applying for assistance, disaster recovery, and rebuilding.
The American Red Cross also provides disaster relief services in Florida. The Red Cross website has information on how to prepare for disasters, what to do during and after a disaster, and how to get help from the Red Cross.
