Gov. Justice extends State of Emergency to include Pleasants County
CHARLESTON, WV — Gov. Jim Justice today amended ([link removed](Pleasants).pdf) last week's State of Emergency to include Pleasants County after severe thunderstorms caused flooding, downed trees, power outages, and road blockages.

On April 2nd, Gov. Justice issued a declaration ([link removed]) for Fayette, Kanawha, Lincoln, and Nicholas counties.

Then on April 4th, Gov. Justice amended the April 2nd declaration ([link removed]) to include Barbour, Brooke, Hancock, Marshall, Ohio, Wetzel, and Wood counties.

The addition of Pleasants County brings the total number of counties under a State of Emergency to 15 because of last week's severe weather.

The State of Emergency declaration is a proactive measure ensuring the allocation of necessary resources and expediting emergency response efforts. It allows state and local agencies to take swift and decisive actions to mitigate the impact of dangers in an effort to protect the lives and property of West Virginians.

Gov. Justice also issued a State of Preparedness ([link removed]) for all 55 counties, which is still in effect. Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and monitor official emergency management and local media accounts for updates.
