A disaster can change a family’s life in a matter of minutes. Finding a safe place to stay shouldn’t become another crisis. EmergencyRV exists to help provide a safe, temporary place to stay while families navigate everything that comes after a disaster.
Our partnerships with the @FLSERT and the Florida State Emergency Response Teams have been an important part of making that possible during our response to Hurricane #Isaias in Florida.
The names, places and disasters may change. The mission doesn’t: when families need a safe place to stay, we show up.
⚠️ 10/27: EAST COAST FLOODING UPDATE ⚠️
Water levels have peaked in NE FL & are peaking in East Central & SE Florida today with high tide.
The tidal St. Johns River is expected to remain in moderate to minor flood stage through this week, with moderate flooding continuing at Astor.
Turn around, don’t drown (or damage your car)!
🚗 Coastal flooding isn’t just water on the road — saltwater can damage your vehicle.
🚫 Never drive through flooded roads or around barricades.
Stay safe & monitor forecasts from local @NWS.
Remember the 3 C’s of disaster giving:
💵 CASH is the most flexible & effective way to help.
✅ CONFIRM there’s a legitimate need before donating or volunteering.
🔗 CONNECT with established organizations.

Since October 12, DCF teams have been on the ground in Century, Milton, and Crestview supporting Floridians impacted by Hurricane Isaias.
Through our Distribution Sites we have provided essential supplies, meals and other resources to over 15,000 individuals as they continue to recover from the storm.
These efforts would not have been possible without the support of our partners, including @FLSERT, Garner Environmental Services, @SunHealthFL, @FarmShareFL, and the many other nonprofit organizations, businesses and state agencies working alongside us.
Thank you for helping us reach families in need and supporting communities across Northwest Florida as they recover.

Know what you’re paying for & question prices that seem unusually high for essential goods or services.
