🌳 Storm Debris Collection Update 🌳

Public Works crews will begin collecting limb debris and other storm‑related debris starting Monday, October 12. Crews will be working citywide, and residents may call to report their specific address so individual locations can be added to the collection list. Reports are welcome over the weekend in preparation.

📞 To report limb or debris pickup needs, call 251‑580‑2559.

When possible, please place debris near the roadside, away from mailboxes, hydrants, and utility poles.

⚡ Power Restoration Update ⚡

Baldwin EMC and Alabama Power have temporarily suspended power restoration efforts in our area for the night. Elevated wind velocity makes it dangerous for crews to safely operate equipment, and work will resume as soon as conditions safely allow.

🙏 We understand extended outages are difficult, and we appreciate everyone’s patience as utility crews prioritize safety during these hazardous conditions.

Please remember:
🏠 Stay indoors and avoid travel unless absolutely necessary
🚫 Do not approach downed lines or damaged electrical equipment
📞 Report downed lines or limbs, debris, or non‑emergency storm concerns to 251‑580‑2559
❗ For life-threatening emergencies, call 9‑1‑1

Thank you for your cooperation as crews and first responders continue working to take care of our community. Stay safe, Bay Minette.
