Earlier today, Judge Executive Al Mattingly declared a State of Emergency in Daviess County. See his Executive Order below:
According to a Facebook post by Daviess County Emergency Management, “a declaration of emergency means the county emergency management director will be working with other county and city agencies to implement the established flood plan. It also means the county can recoup any costs over the normal budgeted limit associated with flood mitigation. This DOES NOT mean you are exempt from going to work or not allowed on roadways. Businesses must make the decision to close.”
Daviess County Emergency Management also posted to Facebook the following updated list of road closures in the county:
