Our History
FEPA: More than 50 Years of Service to Florida
FEPA was created in 1957 to help professional Emergency Managers work to protect the people of Florida. Now completing its 53rd year of service, the organization has established a goal of re-discovering its past. This page is dedicated to the men and women who began, nurtured, expanded, and dedicated themselves to, the Florida Emergency Preparedness Association.
If you have information that would enrich our our restoration of FEPA's history, or were formerly involved in the Association and would like to help, please contact FEPA today.
