The Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners has voted to extend the local state of emergency for another seven days.
The vote allows the county’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to remain active to coordinate countywide storm response and recovery.
Most county government offices are closed to focus on hurricane response, but some services are open and available, including for utilities, animal services, solid waste and building services.
Additionally, the County Information Center remains open from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. by calling 727-464-4333. Pinellas residents who are deaf or hard of hearing can receive assistance by chatting online.
