Escambia County offices and facilities will close at 5 p.m. today, Wednesday, Sept. 11, due to potential severe weather. Evening meetings or activities scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 11, at county facilities are canceled.

Essential employees such as first responders will remain available.

This decision follows Escambia County Public Schools’ announcement that all practices, games and extracurricular activities for Wednesday afternoon and evening will be canceled.

Impacted county facilities and activities include:

  • Escambia County Board of County Commissioners – all departments
  • West Florida Public Libraries – all locations
  • Escambia County Parks and Recreation has advised youth athletic leagues to postpone activities scheduled for this evening at county parks.

County offices are expected to resume normal operations Thursday, Sept. 12, weather permitting.

Residents are encouraged to monitor the local media and legitimate online and social media sources like Escambia County Emergency Management, US National Weather Service Mobile, and Florida SERT. More information on what to do before, during and after a storm is available online at MyEscambia.com/BeReady.
