🚒🚑🌪️ We’re making room for two more teams!

The Volusia County Emergency Management page is expanding to become Volusia County Emergency Services, bringing the County's Fire Rescue, and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) into this account alongside Emergency Management.

These dedicated teams work together every day to help keep Volusia County safe, prepared, and protected. Now, you’ll find updates, important information and behind-the-scenes content from all three teams right here in one place.

Thank you for following along! We look forward to sharing more about the people and work behind Volusia County’s emergency services while continuing to keep you informed when it matters most.

Day 6 of Hurricane Preparedness Week is all about using caution after storms 🌀

A key part of hurricane preparedness is understanding the dangers that remain well after a storm. This is NOT the time to put your guard down. Nearly half of hurricane fatalities occur after the storm.

🌀 If you evacuated, only return home when directed it's safe to do so
🌀 Remain vigilant, as hazards remain: heat, downed power lines, floodwaters, and more
🌀 Clean up safely: don't push yourself and check on neighbors
🌀 Only use generators outdoors, 20+ feet from your home
🌀 Prepare for the likelihood that help and communications may not be available

🌀 Stay in your safe places from water and wind
🌀 Have a way to get weather alerts and forecast updates
🌀 Keep in mind that impacts can be felt far from the coast
🌀 Listen to local officials and avoid travel unless ordered to evacuate
