Our Community Emergency Response Team is always looking for individuals who are willing to volunteer and assist our community in times of crisis. Franklin County Emergency Management uses volunteers for events, activations, and emergency operations. Our community members have a wealth of experience and training. We needs members like you.
Special needs shelters are intended to provide, to an extent, an environment that can sustain an individual's level of health. If a person is medically stable but needs help with basic tasks or uses an electronic medical device and has no other evacuation options, they should pre-register for a special needs shelter.
If you are resident of Franklin County and you currently do not have transportation, you may register for transportation assistance in the event of a storm. During a hurricane that requires a mandatory evacuation of the county, Franklin County Emergency Management will provide transportation for residents to get to a shelter.
For information during a natural or man-made diaster call our office at 850-653-8977.
We have been dealing with litter after litter of puppies for the last six weeks. Yes, they are cute, but all of these puppies need homes. Any puppy that ends up with us gets the love and care it needs as well as being spayed or neutered but just think of all the ones that don't end up here and don't get spayed and neutered. That is why we are offering the free rabies and spay/neuter voucher day on Saturday, April 11th From 10 A.m. to 1 P.m. at the Humane Society. We would like to see everyone in Franklin County, who has a dog or a cat that is unaltered, take advantage of this offer. Now is the time to make sure that you are not contributing to the huge numbers of unwanted pets in our community.
