Met with personnel at the @SCEMD operations center this morning, including FEMA Corps team Sapphire 5. Lots of energy in the room as the state and their partners monitor #Dorian’s impacts and respond.
Governor DeSantis has launched the Florida Disaster Fund, Florida’s official private fund established to assist Florida’s communities as they respond to and recover during times of emergency or disaster.

#Dorian may cause heavy storm surge, wind damage & flooding. We are monitoring & coordinating with state & tribal officials.
If you're in Dorian's path, monitor forecasts closely. Storm tracks can change quickly!
➡️ Stay informed; follow @NHC_Atlantic, @FLSERT & local officials
FEMA Corps teams do important work helping communities prepare for and respond to disasters. It’s a great opportunity to work for the federal government and gain experience in emergency management sector.

#Flagstaff, AZ resident Sharon Tewksbury-Bloom praised @AZCC101@AmeriCorps members for building sandbag walls to prepare for possible flooding due to the #MuseumFire 🔥.
"They were hard-working and collaborative," she said. "Seeing the AmeriCorps logo was comforting."
It’s #PartnershipDay! The partnerships we will be highlighting today are essential to our mission: voluntary, faith-based organizations and private sector companies.
Today we celebrate what we can accomplish together to help communities before, during and after disasters.
