FORTS Services Hosts First Annual Golf Tournament to Benefit Florida Disaster Foundation

This weekend, on June 9, 2024, FORTS Services will proudly host the first annual Golf Tournament to benefit the Florida Disaster Foundation. This event represents a significant opportunity for the community to come together and support critical disaster response, recovery, and relief efforts in Florida.

About the Florida Emergency Management Assistance Foundation

Established in 2022, the Florida Emergency Management Assistance Foundation serves as a direct-support organization of the Florida Division of Emergency Management. Its primary mission is to provide assistance, funding, and support during disaster response and recovery operations. The Foundation plays a pivotal role in ensuring that aid reaches communities swiftly and effectively, especially when federal assistance falls short.

Why Your Donation Matters

Donations to the Florida Disaster Foundation are crucial for several reasons:

  1. Immediate Community Recovery: Contributions help speed up the recovery process for communities affected by disasters, providing essential support that federal aid may not cover.

  2. Direct Support: The Foundation provides direct support, such as travel trailers, to those impacted by severe weather events, particularly in Florida's Panhandle.

  3. Enhanced Training for Emergency Managers: Donations help equip emergency managers with the necessary training and skills to lead larger, more skilled teams and tackle increasingly complex disaster scenarios.
