Delaware Gov. Matt Meyer declared a state of emergency Friday in anticipation of this weekend\u2019s winter storm, activating the Delaware Emergency Management Agency\u2019s emergency operations center and allowing statewide resources \u2013 including the Delaware National Guard \u2013 to mobilize for storm response.<\/span><\/p>\n “Delawareans should always feel secure in their communities, especially during severe winter weather,” Meyer said in a statement. \u201cPlease prepare while you can, avoid being on the roads once the storm begins, and listen to your state and local officials for the latest information and safety warnings.\u201d<\/p>\n DEMA has been operating at an enhanced watch level since Friday morning and is scheduled to move to full activation at 8 a.m. Sunday. Officials said the State Emergency Operations Center will coordinate response efforts with partners including the National Guard, the Delaware Department of Transportation, the Department of Health and Social Services, Delaware State Police, the National Weather Service, county officials and the governor\u2019s office. The Joint Information Center has also been activated.<\/p>\n Officials warned the storm could bring a wintry mix of snow and sleet along with high winds, raising the risk of travel disruptions, power outages and downed trees as temperatures drop.<\/p>\n DEMA said Delawareans should also be prepared for possible state-mandated driving restrictions designed to reduce nonessential travel and keep motorists and emergency responders safe during hazardous conditions.<\/p>\n DEMA also urged residents to sign up for the Delaware Emergency Notification System for updates and to prepare homes and vehicles before the storm arrives.<\/p><\/div>\n Delaware Gov.
