Henderson County issued the following announcement on Jan. 15.
Henderson County Manager John Mitchell has declared a State of Emergency for Henderson County effective 12:00 midnight, Saturday, January 15, 2022, due to potential public safety hazards related to Winter Storm Izzy. The State of Emergency will continue until emergency service officials advise otherwise.
“We encourage residents to stay inside, and limit any non-essential travel. Emergency Services and law enforcement personnel, along with state and municipal road crews, will be bearing a heavy burden to keep up with public safety demands, and keep the roads as clear as possible. Staying inside, off the roads unless it’s an emergency, helps put them in the best possible position to reach our neighbors who need their assistance”, said County Manager Mitchell.
