If you had plans to head to the Secretary of State’s Office for license renewals, new plate tabs or any other transaction, don’t even get in your car tomorrow. All offices connected to Michigan state government will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, January 30, 2019. The Michigan State Police Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security released the news tonight.
Due to the ongoing emergency weather conditions impacting the state of Michigan, all state government offices will be closed on Wednesday, January 30, 2019.
All state employees with shifts that begin on or after 10:00 pm, tonight, January 29, 2019, and are deemed nonessential should not report to work on Wednesday. Certain offices will remain open for critical functions only. State employees with questions about whether their work functions are deemed essential should contact their supervisor.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer says, “All Michiganders are encouraged to stay inside as the temperature continues to drop,” and adds, “If you must leave, make sure you layer up, wear the warmest clothes you have, cover your mouth, and try to limit your time out of your home. For your safety and the safety of our first responders, do not take unnecessary risks.”
The State Emergency Operations Center will remain open to monitor weather conditions.
