Nassau County Emergency Management officials say mandatory evacuations from

zones A, C and F continue going smoothly without any major problems reported

during the day. As Hurricane Dorian continues to linger over the Bahamas,

Director of Nassau County Emergency Management Greg Foster says the storm

remains a concern to Nassau County because of its size and inconsistency.

​

Two shelters have been open since 8 this morning. The general population shelter

as of 4pm, has 75 people occupying the facility at Callahan Middle School and 7

dogs and 8 cats. At Hilliard Middle Senior High there are 28 special needs clients

and include 7 dogs and 2 cats.

The Nassau County Public works Department has distributed 48 thousand sand

bags and has diminished its available supply.

Nassau County residents are strongly encouraged to monitor all Nassau County

Emergency Management social media sites to remain up to date on the latest

information on Hurricane Dorian. NassauEM on Facebook, @nassauEM on
