What to know in Daphne¶
- In a hurricane, flood, tornado, or other disaster, the city's Emergency Management Coordinator leads Daphne's response and recovery and works with Baldwin County Emergency Management.
- City crews pick up bagged yard debris and small limbs on your regular service day. The city does not pick up trees cut by contractors or by people paid to remove them, so the property owner must have those hauled away.
