  • County Response to Hurricane Helene

    In response to Hurricane Helene, several counties deployed teams to heavily impacted areas to provide relief to residents, government entities, and local agencies. The following Emergency Management Agencies (EMAs) participated: Baldwin County EMA, Cullman County EMA, Jackson County EMA, Lee County EMA, Marshall County EMA, and Mobile County EMA. Additionally, members of the County Family who provided Telecommunicator Emergency Response Taskforce services included: Madison County Sheriff’s Office, and Shelby County 9-1-1. As these dedicated employees return from assisting our neighbors during the historic impact of Hurricane Helene, we express our pride in our County Family members and our gratitude for their safe return.


    Plan now to attend District Meetings

    The 2025 Legislative Session will begin February 4, and an important part of our preparation for the Session are the District Meetings. These meetings serve as a time for leaders to gather and prepare as a County Family to advocate for legislation that would be positive for counties and work against legislation that would hurt county government. Mark your calendar to attend one of the six District Meetings scheduled across the state:

    • January 14: Monroe County
    • January 16: Elmore County
    • January 21: Limestone County
    • January 22: St. Clair County
    • January 28: Tuscaloosa County
    • January 30: Pike County

    Legislative Conference registration remains open for County Family

    Attention, County Family members! Registration continues for the Association’s annual Legislative Conference scheduled for December 11-12 at the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel. The Conference will feature discussions and decision-making regarding legislative issues facing counties during the 2025 session. As the County Family continues to “re:solve” the issues facing county government, it is important that every county leader make plans today to participate in this event. County Family members can register for the Conference by referring to the Events/Education tab of the ACCA County Family online community.
