First Responder Appreciation Week is a special time when we Floridians recognize law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency medical personnel who help keep us safe. This past year, first responders went above and beyond not only day-to-day but also during Hurricane Irma, one of the most powerful hurricanes we have seen in years.
They worked tirelessly to prepare residents for the approaching storm and provide assistance when it hit and in its aftermath.
They helped evacuate high-risk areas, conducted search and rescue efforts, provided security and cleared routes to allow people to return to their homes.
They also supported communities with food, water and other aid for those in need.
Motorola Solutions’ Florida employees thank the many men and women across the state who provided their selfless support. Hurricane Irma is only one of the many examples of their tireless dedication to protecting lives and helping communities.
We are grateful for everything they do.
