City of Destin
Implementation Plans
FY 2024-2025 Plan
The City of Destin has been awarded $3,132.72 as part of the Florida Opioid Allocation and Statewide Response Agreement, which it plans to use for training and equipment to combat the opioid crisis. The allocated funds will cover the purchase of Fentanyl Response Kits, online training courses, training devices, and storage cases for Narcan, a lifesaving drug used to reverse opioid overdoses. The total cost of these items is slightly over the awarded amount, at $3,172.09.
This initiative is aimed at equipping the city’s Code Compliance Officers, who regularly interact with both residents and tourists, with the necessary tools and knowledge to respond effectively to opioid overdoses. By providing these officers with Fentanyl Response Kits and the training to use them, as well as the ability to administer Narcan, the city hopes to enhance its level of service and protect its community from the devastating effects of the opioid crisis.
