In observance of the Thanksgiving holiday, all Douglas County Government offices will be closed Thursday, Nov. 27, and Friday, Nov. 28, 2025. Offices will reopen on Monday, Dec. 1, for normal business. Many County services are available 24/7 by visiting online services.
The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has multiple contingency plans in place to ensure we can reach the public in the event of an emergency:
If you were asked to evacuate your home, could you without assistance? For the millions of Americans who have physical, developmental or intellectual disabilities, chronic conditions or injuries and other access and functional needs (AFN), emergencies present a real challenge.
Individuals having AFNs may also include individuals with disabilities, older adults, populations with limited English proficiency, limited access to transportation and/or limited access to financial resources to prepare for, respond to and recover from a disaster.
