Narrative:
Departing ZZZ en route to atl, received hydraulic light on our caution alert panel. We contacted ZZZ ATC, and informed them of situation, and requested vectors to stay near the airport while we spoke to our company. Company advised and we agreed to continue to xyz. During this time we advised our passenger and flight attendants that we would have fire trucks and emergency personnel on the ground in atl as a safety precaution. Our company, and ourselves declared an emergency. Loss of our blue hydraulic meant we would have no flaps, no spoilers, no normal braking, and would have to extend the gear manually. We landed in atl without incident, stopped aircraft with reverse engines and parking brake. We were towed off the runway to the gate.
