Governor Kay Ivey has declared a state of emergency in advance of Hurricane Delta’s arrival along the Gulf Coast and has issued a mandatory evacuation for tourists and vacationers along the Alabama Gulf Coast effective at 7 a.m., Wednesday, Oct. 7.

This mandatory evacuation includes:

Covered Areas – All locations south of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway including Fort Morgan, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Ono Island and Dauphin Island.

Covered Persons – The evacuation order applies to any person in the areas listed who does not possess a hurricane pass or decal issued by a municipal government located in the covered areas.

In addition to this order, Mayor Robert Craft recommends all residents living in low-lying areas pay close attention to the track of this storm as possible changes could occur with little notice.
