Gov. Beshear declares statewide emergency in response to winter storm FRANKFORT, Ky. (Feb. 16, 2015) - In response to heavy snows and bitter cold across the Commonwealth in the past 12 hours, Gov. Steve Beshear declared a statewide emergency to allow local officials immediate access to state resources to assist in public safety and recovery efforts. "This storm system is still dumping snow across much of the state and temperatures are forecast to drop further. Some areas may see accumulation of up to 16 inches, making it one of the worst storms in recent memory," said Gov. Beshear. "By declaring a state of emergency now for the entire state, we can deploy any needed state assistance, including National Guard troops if necessary, without delay." Gov. Beshear and state officials remind drivers that it is extremely important to avoid travel if possible so road crews can salt and plow interstates and major highways. He again encouraged citizens to check on elderly neighbors. So far, the snow has been dry and powdery; this has limited accumulation on power lines and tree limbs. That's good news, as that likely means little impact on power lines for this storm. The Commonwealth Emergency Operations Center (CEOC), located in Frankfort, remains activated with additional staffing from Kentucky Emergency Management (KYEM), KYNG, state cabinets and volunteer organizations monitoring the situation, fielding calls and responding to requests for assistance. Weather safety tips can be found on the Kentucky Emergency Management (KYEM) website at www.kyem.ky.gov. This story was posted on 2015-02-16 14:57:05
