BRACE

Be Ready Alliance Coordinating for Emergencies (BRACE) is Northwest Florida’s leading disaster preparedness, response, and recovery organization. Serving Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties, BRACE strengthens community resilience by coordinating more than 500 partner organizations, training volunteers through Citizen Corps, CERT, and Fire Corps programs, and managing both county Long-Term Recovery Groups. As the fiscal agent and ESF-15 (Volunteers & Donations) lead for Escambia County and Santa Rosa County Emergency Management, BRACE mobilizes resources and volunteers before, during, and after disasters to meet the needs of impacted families. The organization also leads public education efforts such as the StormWise Disaster Preparedness Workshop, Disaster Services Expo, Faith Leader Emergency Summit, Disaster Services RoundTable, and Storms & Stars Soiree, which connect residents, businesses, and community leaders with the tools and training to prepare, mitigate, and recover from disasters. Through collaboration, compassion, and innovation, BRACE helps Northwest Florida build safer, stronger, and more resilient communities.
