VISIT FLORIDA has assembled a host of hurricane-related materials to assist tourism entities throughout Florida with providing accurate and timely information that will allow visitors to make the most informed travel planning decisions possible. We encourage you to review these materials prior to speaking with media and other key influencers. These messages and tactics provide a standard for information that encourages the Florida tourism industry to speak with a unified voice, further reinforcing Florida's consistent and transparent response to any potential crisis situation.
In the event of a hurricane, VISIT FLORIDA will be updating this page with relevant information.

FLORIDA DISASTER FUND
The Florida Disaster Fund is the State of Florida's official private fund established to provide financial assistance to our communities as they respond to and recover from times of emergency or disaster. In partnership with public, private, and other non-governmental organizations, the Florida Disaster Fund supports response and recovery activities.
If you’re looking for ways to help Floridians, the Florida Disaster Fund deploys resources efficiently and effectively to Floridians directly impacted by Hurricane Ian. If you would like to contribute, please visit FloridaDisasterFund.org or text DISASTER to 20222.
Donations to the Florida Disaster Fund are made to the Volunteer Florida Foundation, 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and are tax-deductible.
Checks should be made payable to the Volunteer Florida Foundation and should include “Florida Disaster Fund” in the memo line.
