Coronavirus Information

A message from Mayor Hammond - March 29, 2020 - A note to Flat Rock:
I want to thank you for all you are doing to slow the spread of the Covid virus. I know that this disruption to our everyday lives is not easy. However, the sacrifices you are making, are making a difference.I want to assure you that your city leaders are doing everything in their power to keep you safe. Everyone from our council members, Department heads, and city employees are utilizing every resource we have to fight this virus. Most employees have been laid off or are working reduced hours. Our police and fire departments are working at capacity and every effort is being made to obtain the protective equipment they need. The DPS will continue all essential services such as water and sanitation.

Unfortunately, we must continue our sacrifices. This is a fast-moving virus and has the ability to attack any Flat Rock resident regardless of age or health. We at the city have taken unprecedented steps to protect the public. Places like the library, recreation center and historical campus will remain closed. And even though our parks remain open, we have closed the playgrounds as there is no way of decontaminating the equipment.
Please remember, continuing to stay at the home will slow the spread of the virus and reduce the overwhelming demands on our hospitals and medical staff. Again, I want to thank you, the citizens of Flat Rock, for all you are doing to keep your families, friend, and neighbors safe. Together, we will come through this stronger than ever.

Mayor Mark A Hammond
