Community gardens are spaces for neighbors to come together and grow wholesome and healthy food for their families. They are places for new gardeners to get their hands dirty, and for seasoned gardeners to pass their knowledge on to newcomers. Community gardens provide a wonderful opportunity for children to learn about how food is grown and to garner an appreciation for where their food comes from. Each garden is self-managed, holds their own waiting lists and bylaws, and organizes community events around the garden.

Festival Park is 16 acres of flexible open space used for a variety of activities. The open fields are available for special events and are also used informally by the neighborhood. The volleyball courts are very popular and are available on a first-come first-served basis.

FEMA Region IV serves the southeastern states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. The Regional Office is located in Atlanta, Ga., and the Federal Regional Center is located in Thomasville, Ga.

Region IV has built a skilled workforce to support our citizens and first responders to work together to build, sustain and improve our capabilities to prevent, prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards. Our Regional team works hand-in-hand with federal, state, tribal, local and private sector partners to meet the needs of its state emergency management agencies.

Region IV's natural risks include hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, droughts, ice storms, earthquakes, wildfires, and tropical storms. Six of our eight states are hurricane-prone, so Federal Coordinating Officers have been pre-designated to plan for hurricane response issues and work closely with the state emergency management agencies.

Because Region IV houses both nuclear power facilities and chemical weapon stockpiles, we have an increased risk for a manmade disaster. Currently, there are 17 nuclear power facilities and applications for nine new sites. Those facilities supply 29 percent of the nation's electrical power output, and the addition of the new sites will increase that capacity by 51 percent. There are two chemical weapons stockpiles within Region IV.

The Florida Division of Emergency Management is charged with maintaining a comprehensive statewide program of emergency management. The division ensures that Florida is prepared to respond to emergencies, recover from them, and mitigate their impacts.

Some may remember it as the Orlando Municipal Auditorium—once host to icons like Elvis Presley. Now an icon in its own right, this historic landmark was renamed in the late ’70s. It’s been extensively and carefully updated since then, too. But you can still see the building’s original exterior walls from the current lobby. And you can still catch wonderful shows from one of 2,400+ seats.

From its signature spire and modern architecture to its public spaces and comfortable amenities, the KIA Center is an iconic destination to Central Florida and beyond. The KIA Center features a modern mix of metal and glass exterior materials and the spire serves as a beacon amid Orlando’s vibrant downtown.

Orlando is a regional events capital, with hundreds of cultural, music and sports events happening throughout the year.

The range of exhibits is "designed to inspire curiosity and exploration" according to the Orlando Science Center themselves, while there’s also a range of shows, presentations, and hands-on interactions throughout that aim to "bring the exhibits to life" – great for the whole family.

Constructed in 1963 as the city’s first 2-screen movie theater, the historic Plaza LIVE is Orlando’s premiere live concert venue offering a wide range of concerts, comedians, and cultural events.
