State Offices To Close At Noon Today

September 1, 2016

Gov. Rick Scott has ordered state offices in 51 counties to close at noon today, including those in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, due to Tropical Storm Hermine.

All Escambia and Santa Rosa county offices and schools are open as usual Thursday and Friday.  The First Judicial Circuit has announced that courthouses will be open and all matters will be handled  as scheduled.

Other than rip currents and high surf at the coast, Hermine is expected to have little impact in Escambia or Santa Rosa counties. Click here for the latest update on the storm.

All Escambia and Santa Rosa county offices and schools are open as usual.

    State employees are more important than the school children,

    Pretty sure school closures are decided by the school districts, not the governor.

    I guess Gov. flim Flam doesn’t trust the weathermen who say it should only effect the middle of the state, he’s afraid government employees are at danger but let those school buses roll right on threw the storm

    Since its not expected to bother us, why did he close us? (Wish he’d cancelled school too! Lol)
