With Hurricane Michael churning northeast and potentially a tropical storm when it gets here, Pembroke isn't taking any chances. 

Pembroke City Administrator Alex Floyd said Wednesday the city is closing city hall Thursday and beginning tonight, the city will enforce a dusk  to dawn curfew "to try and avoid any injuries from debris carried by high winds and rain."

Richmond Hill and Bryan County officials are continuing to monitor the storm, according to updates on social media, but no  closures have been announced.

Here's a  copy and paste of Pembroke's announcement:

"After consulting with Public Safety Director Collins, we have decided to close City Hall to office staff on Thursday October 11. Pembroke Police will be using the building as a staging area. Our Fire Dept and our Public Works Dept will be stationed at their respective facilities monitoring the situation and responding to any needs. The City of Pembroke is in a declared state of emergency meaning that extra personnel will be working extra hours and a dusk to dawn curfew will be enforced to try and avoid any injuries from debris carried by high winds and rain."

 "Please remember to bring pets inside, secure any loose lawn furniture or any potential debris around your homes, do your part to keep our ditches and drains free flowing, avoid standing water and clear and stay far away from any downed powerlines. If you or anyone you know in the City is on oxygen or any other medical device without electrical backup please contact the Pembroke Fire Dept at 912 653-4400."
