Regional Medical Assistance Team

State-Deployed. Community-Funded. Always Mission-Ready.

Delivering rapid medical support across Florida during disasters and high-risk events. Powered by FloridaOne’s commitment to community readiness.

What We Do

A Mobile Medical Force for Florida

The FloridaOne Regional Medical Assistance Team (RMAT) serves as a state-level counterpart to the federal DMAT, built and funded by FloridaOne. Based in the Panhandle, the RMAT is capable of deploying to disaster zones statewide to provide critical medical care in coordination with regional emergency systems. Whether it’s a hurricane, pandemic, or special event, RMAT brings lifesaving skills where they’re needed most.
