Disaster Resources & Relief
The Florida Cattlemen’s Association continues work with State Governmental officials to set forth a number of emergency declarations, exemptions, waivers etc. pertaining to the movement of livestock.
In the event of a significant impact on the Florida cattle industry. Folks needing assistance or planning on donating/coming to help please call our office at 407-846-6221. We keep accurate notes with name, location, and type of need so we can get to as many people as possible without sending fence or chainsaw teams to those that have already been assisted.
Contacts for the FCA Disaster Relief committee can be found here.
