DYK: Gratitude for the Men and Women of the SFWMD

As we celebrate this season of Thanksgiving and gratitude, we want to recognize our talented team of employees who work every day to safeguard and restore our region's precious water resources.

DID YOU KNOW: The South Florida Water Management District's dedicated employees are making a difference for our environment and the more than nine million residents who call Central and Southern Florida home.

PROTECTING LOCAL COMMUNITIES: This year, District employees worked diligently to proactively prepare for and rapidly respond to Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. District crews worked around-the-clock to move large amounts of water quickly and efficiently and balance the flow of water after the storms.

• Advancing Everglades restoration
• Improving water quality
• Restoring and protecting South Florida's natural ecosystems
• Managing, safeguarding and expanding regional water supplies
• Monitoring weather conditions and managing water levels throughout the District's water control system
• Providing flood protection for the communities in Central and Southern Florida
