Editor's note: the following was submitted by Nemaha County Emergency Preparedness Director Russ Lierz
Weather Advisory! Winter Storm Warning!
The National Weather Service is predicting an undetermined amount of snow accompanied by frigid temperatures and high winds over the upcoming weekend. The Nemaha County Sheriff’s Office along with Emergency Management is encouraging our citizens to take precautions to avoid issues during this time.
What can you do? Be Prepared and Plan Ahead!
Check to see that you have enough of the following supplies to last up to several days until road crews can have you cleared for travel: Food, water, medications, batteries or charging sources, food for your pets or farm animals. For our rural citizens, check your propane levels or wood supply.
Once the winter storm begins, please do not attempt to travel unless absolutely necessary. If you have an emergency, contact 911. Response times will most likely be delayed, but we will do our best to respond to the needs of our citizens.
Thank you and stay safe!
