On behalf of the Alabama State Parks Division and the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, we want to express our deepest gratitude to all of the dedicated first responders, linemen, utility workers, emergency personnel, and our own hardworking Alabama State Parks staff who have been working around the clock to keep our coastal communities safe and restore park operations following Hurricane Isaias.

From our park rangers and maintenance crews to our hospitality and administrative teams, your tireless efforts to clear debris, inspect facilities, and safely reopen our parks represent the very best of Alabama.

Our hearts and prayers remain with our neighbors across the region who are still dealing with the storm's aftereffects, navigating power outages, and repairing damage to their homes and businesses.

Thank you to our visitors and local community members for your patience, support, and strength.
