HOPE in Emergencies - Okaloosa County
Helping Okaloosa Parents Excel in Emergencies Expo

Everyone should have a plan. 
The likelihood of you and your family surviving a house fire depends as much on having a working smoke detector and an exit strategy, as on a well-trained fire department.  The same is true for surviving a hurricane, terrorist attack or other emergency.  We must have the tools and plans in place to make it on our own, at least for a period of time.  The more you and your family know about preparedness, the better the chances are that everyone will be able to stay safe during an emergency or disaster.

Join us at the HOPE Expo!
