County commissioners have signed the signed the state grant that help fund our local emergency management office.

The Emergency Management Office is Franklin County’s central response and information command during emergencies including hurricanes, tornadoes and wildfires.

Last week, the board accepted the Emergency Management Performance Assistance Grant.

This is an annual grant that provides just over $105 thousand dollars to help fund operations at the Emergency Management Office.

The money is provided through the Florida Division of Emergency Management to support local preparedness programs, training, and daily operations.
