Santa Rosa Co Sheriff's Office

If you don’t need to be out, please stay home

We understand that after a storm, people want to get out, check on things, and find the supplies they need. However, we are asking everyone to think twice before getting on the road.

Utility crews are working tirelessly to repair damage and restore power throughout Santa Rosa County. The amount of traffic on our roadways is creating challenges for crews trying to reach affected areas and complete these important repairs.

We understand that some travel is necessary. Getting food, fuel, water, and other essential supplies is part of recovery. But unnecessary trips are contributing to traffic congestion and making an already difficult job even harder for the crews working to serve our community.

If you don’t have a necessary reason to travel, please stay home.

Giving crews room to move is one simple way we can all help speed up recovery efforts.

Please be considerate, stay patient, and remember that we all have a role to play in getting Santa Rosa County back to normal.

Thank you for your cooperation and support.
