Todd DeMuth, deputy director of MEMA, provided an update Friday on an upcoming winter weather event and directed residents to the agency’s online resources for further information.
MEMA is the state emergency management agency responsible for coordinating preparedness and response activities for natural disasters and severe weather. Agencies like MEMA typically work with local officials, transportation departments and utility companies to monitor conditions, issue advisories and help manage emergency resources.
The update underscores the potential for winter storms to disrupt travel, public services and utilities. Officials often use such briefings to remind residents to review personal preparedness plans, check supplies and heed local advisories as conditions change.
Residents seeking details on expected impacts, sheltering, road conditions and assistance are directed to the agency’s disaster page at https://www.msema.org/get-assistance/disaster-resources/disasters/january-2026-winter-weather. Local media and weather services will provide forecasts and travel advisories as the system approaches.
We will provide more information as it becomes available.
