Escambia County prepares for higher activation

The Escambia County Emergency Operations Center says it expects to move to a higher activation level for a storm within the next two days.

The storm’s projected effects on Escambia County were not detailed in the announcement. No emergency response steps for residents were identified.

What residents can follow

Residents should watch for additional instructions from Escambia County as the situation develops. Any later county notice could provide the activation time, information about local impacts and directions for emergency preparedness or response.
