🌍 CELEBRATING 70 YEARS OF INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP! 🇺🇸🇩🇪

Today, October 14, the City of Foley recognizes Sister Cities International Day, celebrating 70 years of building friendships, fostering cultural understanding and connecting communities around the world!

Since establishing its sister-city partnership with Hennef, Germany, in 2022, Foley has helped bring the two communities closer through four student exchanges, an adult exchange and an international, intergenerational cookbook.

In recognition of this milestone, Mayor Ralph Hellmich presented a proclamation to Foley Sister Cities Executive Director Linda Spangrud and Board Chairman Jo Hellmich.

🎉 The celebration continues! Foley Sister Cities will host its inaugural Oktoberfest Golf Jamboree on October 23 at GlenLakes Golf Club. While golf teams are sold out, tickets are still available for the evening Oktoberfest celebration featuring German food, beverages and live music!

Residents can also explore a free Sister Cities exhibit at the Foley Community Library throughout October.

We're sharing a few special moments from past exchanges and visits to Germany!

Auf viele weitere Jahre der Freundschaft! 🇺🇸🤝🇩🇪

𝗛𝗨𝗥𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗡𝗘 𝗜𝗦𝗔𝗜𝗔𝗦 | 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗥𝗬 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗠 𝗗𝗔𝗠𝗔𝗚𝗘 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘
Saturday, October 10, 2026 | 8:00AM

The City of Foley has begun post-storm recovery operations following Hurricane Isaias.

Preliminary assessments conducted by City crews overnight indicate that Foley avoided the widespread damage experienced during previous major hurricanes. However, several areas sustained damage, including downed trees, power outages and debris along roadways.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝗼 𝗳𝗮𝗿:

🌳 DOWNED TREES AND DAMAGE: City crews identified significant tree damage in the area between Myrtle Avenue and Highway 98, from Alston Street to Cedar Street. Additional downed trees were observed in the northwestern portion of the city and at Graham Creek.

⚡ POWER OUTAGES: Riviera Utilities and Baldwin EMC are have mobilized to continue restoration efforts this morning. Residents should stay away from downed power lines and avoid approaching trees or debris that may be in contact with electrical equipment.

🚧 ROAD CLEARING: City crews and contracted crews worked overnight to remove fallen trees and clear roadways where conditions allowed. Additional assessments and clearing operations are underway today. Motorists should remain cautious and avoid areas where crews are working.

🌧️ FLOODING: Initial assessments have not identified significant flooding issues within the city. City crews will continue monitoring conditions.

𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗘𝗙𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗦 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗨𝗘 𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬

City crews began additional damage assessments early this morning to identify priority areas for debris removal and roadway clearing. These assessments will help guide recovery operations throughout the day.

While initial reports are encouraging, the full extent of damage is not yet known. Some areas were surveyed after dark, and additional damage may be identified during daylight inspections.

The City of Foley appreciates the dedication of our City crews, emergency responders, utility crews and contractors who have worked throughout the storm and into the recovery period.

We will continue providing updates as additional information becomes available. by @cityoffoley

⚠️ 𝗙𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗗𝗪𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗦𝗔𝗙𝗘𝗧𝗬 𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥

As Hurricane Isaias approaches our area, residents are urged to avoid contact with floodwater and stay out of waterways during and immediately after the storm.

𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿. 𝗜𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘇𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀, 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴:

- Bacteria and other pathogens from overwhelmed wastewater treatment facilities, septic systems and pet waste.

- Fuel, oil and household chemicals that may be carried into flooded areas.

- Pesticides and fertilizers washed into floodwater by heavy rainfall.

- Hidden hazards such as debris, downed power lines and open manholes.

- Displaced wildlife forced out of natural habitats and into areas where people live and work.

Floodwater is often murky, making it difficult to identify potential dangers. Some contaminants are invisible to the naked eye, meaning water that appears safe may still pose serious health risks.

𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

- Keep yourself, children and pets out of floodwater.

- Never walk or drive through flooded areas.

- Avoid entering waterways during and immediately after the storm.

- Do not return to flooded areas until local officials have declared them safe.

𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿: 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘁.

Stay safe, Foley, and continue monitoring official updates as Hurricane Isaias moves through our area. by @cityoffoley
