The Franklin County Emergency Management Office is continuing to urge Franklin County residents to get their re-entry tags.
The tags are designed to be a proof of residency of Franklin County for use after a major storm or other event that requires an evacuation.
The tags hang from your rear-view mirror, and make it easier for police to recognize you as a county resident which might allow you back into the county more quickly after an evacuation.
The tags are also color coded by your city of residence.
The Emergency Management office has been providing the tags for about four months.
The EOC has issued 1280 tags so far – 334 to St. George Island residents, 291 to residents from Lanark Village to Alligator Point, 251 to people in Apalachicola,218 to people in Carrabelle and 185 to Eastpoint residents.
You can pick up a re-entry tag at the Emergency Management office at the Apalachicola Airport.
You simply need to bring a photo ID like a driver’s license and proof of residence like a utility bill.
You can also fill out the form on-line at franklinemergencymanagement.com though you will still have to go to the emergency management office to pick up your tag.
The Emergency Management Office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 till 6 to make it easier for working people to stop by after work.
