Wakulla County received two of the grants, one of which will also help Franklin County.
The Wakulla County commission was awarded 75 thousand dollars to develop a shelter plan for Wakulla and Franklin counties.
They were awarded a second 75 thousand dollar grant to identify and analyze potential hazards and evaluate the existing conditions of the physical, social, economic, and environmental vulnerabilities for Wakulla County.
