Niagara County Emergency Services Director urges residents to prepare for difficult weather through Monday

Statement from Niagara County Emergency Services Director Jon Schultz: “Between the extreme cold and potential for a significant amount of snow, we could be facing some dangerous conditions through Monday.  This has led the governor to already declare a state of emergency for all of New York, which allows for quicker deployment of resources wherever needed.  Having said that, there is still uncertainty on the route the storm will take and how it will impact Niagara County.  I encourage everyone to take all necessary precautions, especially when it comes to dealing with the cold.  While we hope it’s not as bad as it could be, we need to be prepared.”  View the full update from the National Weather Service here.
