WV issues state of preparedness ahead of storms
Posted 04/02/25
The National Weather Service is predicting high winds and heavy rain across West Virginia with the potential for power outages and floods.
“Having that heightened awareness makes a big difference,” West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey said.
The governor issued a state of preparedness for all 55 counties on Wednesday, urging agencies to get ready as many are still recovering from historic floods.
“We want people to be on standby because then we can actually act very quickly, and what happened with the last flood is we were prepared, we got out front very, very early,” Morrisey said.
