Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has declared a state of emergency in Scioto County, as announced by State Representative Justin Pizzulli. This decision comes after severe weather hit the area on September 27, causing flooding, power outages, and damage from downed trees. Scioto County is among four Ohio counties where an emergency status has been declared.
Representative Pizzulli expressed gratitude for the governor's prompt action. "I appreciate the Governor’s swift response to the damage Scioto County currently faces as a result of the storms last weekend," said Pizzulli. He emphasized the importance of community solidarity during the rebuilding process: "It’s important that we rally together as a community as we work to rebuild what was impacted."
The Ohio Emergency Management Agency is collaborating with local county agencies to evaluate damages and provide necessary assistance.
