Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey prepared the state’s response to Hurricane Irma today by opening the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) in Clanton and activating members of the Alabama National Guard.

“Folks, this is an all-hands-on-deck event and all of our state agencies are working together to ensure the safety of all Alabamians and of those who have recently sought refuge in our state,” Ivey said at a press conference from the SEOC today.

The governor said she has also stood up four regional emergency operations centers in the state and has offered National Guard support to Florida as the neighboring state takes the brunt of the hurricane.
