🚨 Baldwin County Update – Evacuation & Emergency Declaration Lifted
Governor Kay Ivey has officially lifted the mandatory evacuation order, and the Baldwin County Commission has lifted the Local State of Emergency declaration, effective 2:00 PM today.
The Baldwin County Shelter at the Coliseum closes at 1:00 PM, and the Safer Place at St. Paul’s closed earlier today as sheltering needs decreased.
Power restoration is still ongoing across the county. Utility crews are working as quickly and safely as possible. Please remain patient, and contact your specific provider if you need to report an outage or have questions.
We thank our residents for their cooperation throughout this event. Please continue to use caution as crews work to clear remaining debris and restore essential services.
While Baldwin County was fortunate to avoid the worst of the storm, we recognize that many areas across the region were not as fortunate. We are deeply grateful for our outcome and continue to keep those harder‑hit communities in our thoughts and prayers.
