🏨 Forty years after Drury first opened its doors in Mobile, they’re opening them even wider.

We were excited to celebrate the opening of the new Drury Plaza Hotel Mobile at 📍 812 West I-65 Service Rd. S.

After four decades in the Mobile market, the family-owned and operated company made the decision two years ago to rebuild — bigger and better. The result is a beautiful new property featuring 186 guest rooms, along with complimentary breakfast and dinner for guests.

Congratulations to the Drury team on this major reinvestment in Mobile and an exciting new chapter after 40 years in our community! 🎉

Mobile County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) urges residents and visitors to check their evacuation zones, follow evacuation orders and reach a safe location by Friday afternoon, Oct. 9, before dangerous conditions from Hurricane Isaias arrive.

Effective at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8, Governor Kay Ivey ordered the mandatory evacuation of nonresidents, tourists and visitors in Mobile County's Zone 1, including all of Dauphin Island and portions of Bayou La Batre. The Town of Dauphin Island also issued an evacuation notice for the island's west end, from Pirate's Cove Street west, effective at 5 p.m. Thursday.

The Mobile County, Alabama Commission and Town of Dauphin Island have declared local states of emergency to support hurricane response operations.

Everyone should go to https://bit.ly/4dwDfiV to "Know Your Zone” and take appropriate action. Those who have been directed to evacuate by the Governor should leave immediately.

Those in low-lying, flood-prone or storm surge-vulnerable areas, as well as those living in manufactured housing, is strongly urged to relocate to a safer location, regardless of evacuation orders.

Hurricane Isaias threatens Mobile County with life-threatening storm surge, destructive winds, heavy rainfall, significant flooding, possible tornadoes and widespread power outages.

Residents should stay with family or friends in safer locations when possible. Public shelters are available for those who need them.

Three public shelters will open at 8 a.m. Friday, Oct. 9:

Theodore High School: General population and medical needs shelter
Baker High School: General population shelter
Collins-Rhodes Elementary School: General population shelter

Those in need of transportation to a shelter should call 2-1-1.
Do not wait until conditions deteriorate. Complete preparations, evacuate as directed and get to safety by Friday afternoon.

For evacuation zones, shelter information and official updates, visit www.mobilecountyema.gov, follow Mobile County EMA on social media or use the Mobile County EMA app.

🚨 Act today 🚨
With a storm headed our way, we want to make sure our small business members know about a resource that could help with recovery.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Readiness for Resiliency program offers eligible small businesses the opportunity to apply for a $5,000 recovery grant after a qualifying disaster but you must complete the preparedness checklist and register before the disaster occurs.

Businesses must document at least $5,000 in qualifying disaster losses, and funding is not guaranteed.

A separate $5,000 Mitigation Grant opportunity is also available this fall to support projects that reduce future disaster risks.

Review the requirements and register now:
