WV Northern Regional Highway Safety Program

I've declared a State of Emergency for all 55 WV counties ahead of the upcoming winter storm. Our top priority is safety, and all state agencies are pulling the rope together to stay ahead of the challenges we may face.

Here’s what we’re doing right now:

The West Virginia National Guard is strategically staging personnel and equipment at armories across the state in preparation for potential response needs.

The West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) is proactively addressing weather-related challenges, working diligently to stay ahead of the storm and ensure roadways remain passable.

Emergency Management officials are closely monitoring developments and coordinating efforts to ensure a swift and effective response, with teams in place for rapid support if necessary.

The next few days could bring challenges. Please periodically check on your neighbors and family. Remain cautious because things can change quickly.

Our agencies are on high alert, and we’ll continue to keep West Virginians updated as needed.

We will get through this together.
