In an anticipatory move ahead of Hurricane Helene's expected landfall, the Clayton County Board of Commissioners announced the closure of all administrative offices today. According to a statement obtained by the Clayton County Government, the decision aligns with the State of Emergency declared to prepare for the imminent weather conditions. The offices are scheduled to reopen on Monday, September 30, during their usual business hours.
As the region prepares for the hurricane's impact, residents are being urged to take necessary precautions and stay updated. This closure will ensure that administrative staff can secure their own homes and safety. Clayton County has activated its emergency response protocol, ensuring that critical services remain operational during the emergency.
Preparation and public safety are the top priorities as Hurricane Helene moves closer to making landfall. County officials are closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with emergency services to mitigate the storm's potential effects. They encourage residents to follow evacuation orders and emergency announcements.
For media inquiries regarding the administrative closures or the county's emergency response, Valerie L. Fuller, the Communications Administrator, is the designated point of contact. She can be reached at 770.473.3834 or through a media inquiry form. In efforts to disseminate critical information, this direct line of communication with the Office of Communications remains open even as administrative offices are closing.
