This is to advise you that, AFSCME Local 199 and AFSCME Florida have come together to feed folks hot meals post Hurricane Irma. We understand that folks from all walks of life are impacted by the disaster that this storm has caused. Folks are still without electricity and food to say the least.
We hope you and your family are safe following Hurricane Irma. While the winds and rains have passed, the hard work of putting our lives and communities back together is just beginning.
Many of you worked countless hours leading up to the storm and continue to do so. Your heroic work underscores that AFSCME members never quit on our neighbors and coworkers. This is not just a job, it is a calling, now more than ever.
We still don’t know where exactly Irma is going to land, but that’s exactly why you should be preparing now. The 5 a.m. update from the National Weather Service spelled out what we all should know by now - the threat of impacts to Florida continue to increase.
