Emergency Management to issue re-entry tags at SGI Fresh Market Saturday morning

Members of the Franklin County Emergency Management office will be on St. George Island on Saturday to help residents get their Franklin County re-entry tags.         

The Emergency Management Office began issuing the tags in 2010 as a way to identify county residents after a major disaster that requires an evacuation.

The tags hang from your rear-view mirror, and make it easier for authorities to recognize you as a county resident which might allow you back into Franklin County more quickly after an evacuation.

The tags are also color coded by your city of residence.

If you don’t yet have your re-entry tag, Emergency Management Personnel will be at the Fresh Market on St. George Island on Saturday from 9 till noon to issue them.

Just bring a photo ID like a driver’s license and proof of residence like a utility bill.

You can pick up a re-entry tag at the Emergency Management office at the Apalachicola Airport any weekday during regular business hours.

Or you can fill out the form on-line at franklinemergencymanagement.com and your tag can be mailed to you.
