🚨 When disaster strikes, Florida’s response team is already in motion, turning preparation into action. Effective response depends on real-time information, strong coordination & teams ready to act. 🚛 🤝 The Bureau of Response brings together the people, resources & expertise needed throughout the disaster lifecycle—from 24/7, 365-day monitoring of incidents & credentialing before an incident to critical resource distribution during emergencies & support for disaster survivors in the aftermath. This week, we’ll explore the many elements of disaster response & the critical role each plays in supporting Florida before, during & after emergencies. 👉 #EMAwarenessMonth

🛡️ Emergency management is about more than responding when disaster strikes—it’s about the work we do before, during & after disasters to keep Floridians safe. Mitigation is where resilience begins. From strengthening infrastructure to improving how households, businesses & individuals plan for hazards, mitigation helps address vulnerabilities long before an emergency occurs. 🏗️ Through planning, floodplain management, engineering, environmental review & more, mitigation brings together the expertise & resources needed to reduce risks & build more resilient communities. Follow along this week as we take you inside the Bureau of Mitigation to highlight the people, projects & partnerships that help protect Floridians, strengthen communities & safeguard what matters most for Florida’s future. 🤝#EMAwarenessMonth
