Bay County declares state of emergency
About 9 a.m. Friday morning, Bay County Commission Vice Chairman George Gainer signed a declaration of a local state of emergency for Bay County due to the anticipated effects of Tropical Storm Fay.
The declaration is necessary to recoup from the federal government funding associated with expenditures related to Tropical Storm Fay.
All Bay, Gulf and Liberty county libraries within the Northwest Florida Regional Library System will close Saturday and Sunday.
Bay County officials continue to prepare for the storm, as Public Works crews work to check all areas prone to flooding to ensure that all drainage systems in those areas are working at full capacity. Crews will be working through Sunday to respond to any blockages that may occur.
Any road closures caused by the storm will be reported to local media as soon as possible. To report drainage or road problems, please 784-4050.
Sandbags and other storm supplies are commercially available and are not provided by Bay County.

Bay County declares state of emergency, then why does the City of Lynn Haven Mayor keep insisting even as of this morning that there is only going to be one inch of rain. I am unable to get the ditches cleaned and my home floods during hard rains, I have called the Mayor 3 times as of this morning asking for help & the only help was that the culbert was cleaned very, very little & what debri was cleaned was left on the side of the road to wash back into the ditch, as usual the City of Lynn Haven does not care! Thanks for nothing!
