Disaster Preparedness

Florida's Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) program wants you to be prepared for a hurricane or other disaster. You can download the VR Hurricane Preparedness Brochures in English, Spanish or Creole. Remember it is up to you to make sure you and your family's needs may be met in the event of a disaster.
