Monroe County is currently in stage 2 of the Disaster Declaration process. No decision has been made by the Governor's office or the President concerning Public Assistance (helping pay for road clearing and debris removed from right of way) OR Individual Assistance (helping citizens without insurance or under-insured damage) from Hurricane Isaias. Damage assessments are ongoing. We encourage citizens with damage to use the self reporting link to help us prepare for the submission. Teams will continue to make the assessments throughout this week.

The Emergency Declaration everyone is seeing for Escambia, Mobile and Baldwin counties was put in place prior to the storm to help move assets in the area to mitigate loss of life and property.

I know it is hard to be patient when we've suffered such a widespread loss of power and cell service. Hopefully all power restoration in Monroe County will be completed in a short timeframe.

Tarps, MRE's and Water have been distributed to some of the more harder hit areas. If you have a need for any of these emergency supplies, please message us and we will point you in the right direction. I know MRE's, tarps and water won't help as much as having power.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone that has volunteered their time, energy, sweat and labor in helping citizens truly in need.

Please spread the information about the self reporting tool and the information about Alabama Baptist Disaster Relief. They have chainsaw crews that are helping citizens with tree removal from homes. We are supplying them with tarps as well.

This is a great resource that is in Monroe County to help citizens get trees off their homes and get a tarp on their roof. One call gets it done. These resources are in Monroe County now.

Great job Monroe County! Keep the self-reporting submissions coming. Damage Assessment reps will be in the area Wednesday October 14th to make contact with homeowners and take pictures. Your online self report will ensure your home is included in the damage assessment. This is the beginning of the process to seek FEMA assistance with recovery efforts. Thank you Monroe County for the hard work and resilience. This link only helps property inside the Monroe County lines. We have received entries from other counties. Unfortunately, Monroe County can not handle another county's residence and property.

City and County Road Departments, Volunteer Fire Departments, Fire Departments, Rescue Squad, ALDOT, Law Enforcement, Volunteers.... and not to mention the great citizens of Monroe County... worked extremely hard to clear roads and get downed trees off residences all day today.

Having said that, there is still a lot of work to do. Not all roads were cleared and some not even touched. Please be extremely careful if you are on the roads tonight. Assume any downed trees have power lines in them. Please, please do not venture out unless absolutely necessary. These crews need more time to complete the road clearing.
