If a storm affects the state, one of the primary goals will be the rapid restoration of local businesses that provide essential goods and services to the community.

The State Emergency Response Team is committed to working with businesses to ensure essential commodities are delivered to communities and businesses are able to get back up and running as quickly as possible after a disaster. If you have questions about the statewide re-entry guidelines, please contact us.
If you are unable to re-enter an area that has been deemed safe after a disaster, or if you experience an issue with a curfew order, please contact the Private Sector Hotline at 850-815-4925 or email ESF18@em.myflorida.com.
