From Alabama Governor Kay Ivey:
This morning, I connected with FEMA Administrator Cameron Hamilton and Alabama Emergency Management Agency Director Jeff Smitherman as crews positioned around the state clear any debris.

I have also rescinded the supplemental state of emergency proclamation requiring the mandatory evacuation of non-residents.
This storm brought in heavy winds throughout Alabama, taking down trees, knocking out power and doing some damage.
Unfortunately, we have also learned that two Alabamians have lost their lives. I am praying for their loved ones this morning. I offer my sincere thanks for the various crews we have positioned throughout the state who have been working to clear debris and restore power. That is the focus right now, and I am proud to report that all major roadways, including the ICW, have been reopened. There are still some road closures due to downed power lines, and our linemen are working to clear that as soon as possible.
Fellow Alabamians, please continue being smart today as cleanup continues. Safety for y’all is the main thing today.

Alabama State of Emergency
Supplement 1: Evacuation order for non-residents in parts of Mobile and Baldwin Counties RESCINDED AND NO LONGER IN EFFECT
Supplement 2: Transportation waiver information

Mission Slide

 

 

From the Alabama Department of Transportation:

Over the last few days, ALDOT crews have worked around the clock preparing for Hurricane Isaias before it made landfall, then jumping into action to clear roadways impacted by storm debris and downed power lines.

While significant progress has been made restoring transportation routes, debris remains along some highways, particularly in the hardest-hit areas of South Alabama.

As night falls and the storm moves out of Alabama, our crews are going to take some much-deserved rest and attend to any impacts the storm had on their own families. Personnel will remain available overnight to respond to emergencies before resuming the recovery mission in the morning.

Motorists are urged to remain alert for roadside debris and use caution around cleanup and emergency crews.
