Commissioners adopt one-week local emergency declaration after storm damage
Summary
Following recent severe weather that produced tree damage, outages and limited flooding, the Marshall County EMA director recommended and the board approved a one-week local disaster declaration to support tracking costs and potential state/FEMA public assistance.
Marshall County commissioners adopted a one‑week local disaster emergency declaration after hearing a briefing from EMA Director Jack Garner on storm impacts.
Garner said multiple rounds of severe weather had produced widespread tree damage, multi‑day power outages and some flash flooding. He noted the governor had declared a statewide disaster and that the state may seek FEMA Public Assistance for local governments. "I highly recommend the Marshall County Commissioners adopt this emergency declaration," Garner said. The board approved the declaration, which will be effective for one week upon passage and may be extended if continued damage or response costs warrant further action.
