Autauga County Senior Centers Closing March 17-18 Due to Frigid Temperatures

Autauga County closed all of its Senior Services centers on March 17 and 18, 2026, citing frigid temperatures and expected cold weather conditions, according to a notice posted on the county's official website on March 16.

The county posted the alert under its County News section the day before the closures took effect, giving seniors, caregivers, and partner agencies roughly 24 hours' notice. The notice cited safety as the driving concern: "all Autauga County Senior Centers will be closed to help ensure the safety and well-being of our seniors."

Along with announcing the shutdown, the county urged caution for anyone tempted to travel during the cold snap. "We encourage everyone to stay warm, stay safe, and avoid unnecessary travel during these cold conditions," the notice read.

The centers reopened Thursday, March 19, following the two-day pause. The county's notice concluded on an optimistic note: "We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Thursday, March 19, 2026!"

The county did not specify in its notice which individual centers were affected beyond the blanket reference to "all Autauga County Senior Centers," nor did it address whether home-delivered meals, transportation, or other dependent services would be adjusted during the closure period. No alternate contact information or contingency arrangements were listed in the public posting.
