Mission:

Franklin County Emergency Management’s Mission is to minimize loss of life, personal injury, damage to property or the environment caused by natural or man-made disasters that affect the community.

RE-ENTRY TAGS

Re-Entry Tags will only be used when a mandatory evacuation of Franklin County has been called.
You can obtain your Re-Entry Tags by stopping by our office at 28 Airport Road, Apalachicola, FL.
You will need to have the following documentation to obtain your Re-Entry Tag:

Driver’s License or Photo ID
2 Forms of Proof of Ownership of Property (Tax Bill, Utility Bill, etc.) OR Proof of Rental of Property (Lease or Renters Agreement, Insurance, etc.)

Re-Entry Tags are used and are in place to protect property owners/renters from vandalism and looting.

Just a Few Reminders:

We anticipate that there will be few, if any, services (gas, food, water, electricity, etc.) available after a disaster of the magnitude it would require for an evacuation to be called. If you have a safe place to stay, please do so for the first few days after the disaster.
If you are a secondary homeowner, you do have a safe place to stay. We ask that you remember that what few supplies we have will be used for the primary residents of the county who do not have a second home.
When returning to Franklin County after an evacuation, be sure to bring supplies with you. (Water, Fuel, Generators, etc.
ONCE the EOC has been activated – NO RE-ENTRY TAGS WILL BE ISSUED!
