In the News
Nodaway County Emergency Management Director Christy Forney has issued a severe weather advisory for this weekend.
“Although uncertain at this time, it looks as though we could be receiving freezing rain, sleet, and snow,” Forney said, adding that current models indicate extreme winter weather may move into the area by Friday evening.
If predictions prove accurate, dangerous conditions might continue through Sunday before moderating early in the week.
“The potential for freezing rain is of great concern, Forney said. “I would like to remind the residents of Nodaway County to please make sure you have extra food, water, baby supplies, medicines, extra batteries, fuel for generators, and so forth.
“Please stay home during this event. Venturing out unnecessarily not only endangers your life but the lives of emergency responders.”
Forney said that if setting up shelter facilities becomes necessary, public safety officials will release information through social media, Textcaster, and local media outlets. She urged all residents to monitor weather forecasts daily.
