All DeKalb County government offices, buildings, and in-person county-sponsored programs will remain closed through Tuesday, January 27, 2026, due to ongoing winter weather conditions. The closure affects all employees, who are instructed not to report to county facilities during this period.
Employees who can work remotely are expected to do so unless otherwise directed by their department leadership. Those whose responsibilities cannot be completed virtually will receive specific instructions from their departments.
Essential personnel will continue to report or stay on duty as needed for public safety, emergency response, infrastructure support, and other critical services. Regularly scheduled meetings of the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners will proceed as planned but will be held virtually to maintain continuity of operations and ensure public access. Information about attending these meetings online is available at www.dekalbcountyga.gov.
County leadership and emergency management officials are monitoring weather conditions and evaluating operational impacts. An additional update regarding operations for Wednesday will be issued on Tuesday.
Residents and employees are encouraged to monitor official DeKalb County communication channels for the latest updates.
