Laramie County Passes Resolution Declaring State of Emergency
The Laramie County Board of Commissioners on Wednesday passed a resolution declaring a state of emergency due to this past weekend s record-breaking snowstorm. It is ironic that . a year ago today we did a special emergency meeting to put into place COVID protocols for Laramie County, said Commissioner Gunnar Malm. I really hope this one does not last as long. I don t anticipate it because snow melts.

Gov. Gordon Issues Emergency Declaration After Historic Snowstorm
Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon has issued an emergency declaration to facilitate a coordinated response in the aftermath of this past weekend s historic snowstorm.
Gordon says the declaration allows the director of the Wyoming Office of Homeland Security (WOHS) to mobilize state and federal personnel, resources and organizations to address the impacts of the storm.
It also directs the Adjutant General, in consultation with WOHS and the governor, to deploy, if needed, the Wyoming National Guard to areas of the state that have been identified for emergency assistance.
“The scale and intensity of this storm have caused severe impacts to our transportation infrastructure and agriculture producers,” said Gordon.

Winter Storm Xylia has been so devastating to southern Wyoming that the governor has activated the Wyoming National Guard to provide emergency assistance, should it be needed.
Effective March 16, Wyoming is in the State of Emergency. This is Governor Mark Gordon’s direct response to the massive winter storm that has paralyzed Cheyenne, Casper, and most of southern Wyoming.
This week’s snowstorm delivered more than 30 inches of wet, heavy snow to southeast Wyoming, closing Interstates 25 and 80, causing power outages and leading to the closure of city, county, and state offices and school districts for multiple days.
