Emergency management reports winter‑storm response; county numbers submitted for federal declaration
Summary
Greenup County emergency management said the EOC was activated for Winter Storm Fern, partners helped with medication delivery and transportation, and officials are compiling damage totals to support the governor’s request for a presidential disaster declaration.
Greenup County emergency management reported that the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) was activated during Winter Storm Fern and that county staff coordinated with the ambulance authority, local fire departments and other agencies to support residents and first responders.
Officials said they helped transport essential equipment, delivered medications to residents isolated by ice and snow, and performed welfare checks. Emergency management is collecting damage totals from local jurisdictions to support a request for a presidential disaster declaration; the governor had submitted a request and county figures will be included.
Commissioners asked follow‑up questions about facility damage (including roof leaks at the public safety center) and whether warranties or installation issues could be factors; staff said they would pull records and report back. A final determination on federal assistance depends on state and federal review of aggregated damage estimates, which the county is still compiling.
