Announcements

Community non-profits and faith-based organizations in Williamson County are stepping in to fill an identified gap in services. The Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) have set up drop-off donation sites for non-medical items to be delivered to vulnerable populations and elderly residents. They are primarily in need of new goods in original packaging that are in short supply such as hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes and cleaning supplies. A new Mask Brigade is making cloth face coverings for first responders and medical personnel to wear over N-95 masks. To learn more about joining the Mask Brigade, click here.

In a proactive effort to reduce the number of new COVID-19 cases in Williamson County and in Central Texas, County Judge Bill Gravell has issued a Stay Home Stay Safe Order for all individuals in Williamson County. This Order takes effect at 11:59 p.m. on March 24, 2020 and will continue through 11:59 p.m. on April 13, 2020, subject to the limited exceptions. The Stay Home Stay Safe order was amended to match Governor Abbott's orders and was extended through April 30, 2020. The directives are intended to help control the spread of the coronavirus by keeping people isolated at home.

In an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19, Williamson County has taken several steps. On Saturday, March 14, County Judge Bill Gravell made a local disaster declaration. On March 19, 2020, this disaster declaration was extended by the Commissioners Court until terminated. This was followed by an Second Order limiting mass gatherings to 10 people or fewer. The local disaster declaration will allow the County to allocate resources, utilize personnel and enact procedures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Williamson County. It also allows for state assistance to be requested if local resources and mutual aid are insufficient. Several Williamson County events have been canceled or postponed.
