Missouri National Guard alerted to support Missourians in Winter Storm

Posted

JEFFERSON CITY — Governor Mike Parson has alerted approximately 500 members of the Missouri National Guard through Executive Order 22-09 in anticipation of potential travel disruptions due to the winter storm. Service members are being notified today and the Missouri National Guard is prepared to position personnel and equipment around the state to support the Missouri State Highway Patrol and other interagency partners.

The Missouri National Guard is preparing to conduct response efforts across the state, such as assisting the Missouri State Highway Patrol with stranded motorists.

If you don't need to be out in the weather, stay home. If you must travel, have a plan and an emergency kit. We urge Missourians to listen to first responders and civil authorities and avoid ice and snow-covered roads.

For more information, contact the Missouri National Guard Public Affairs Office at (573) 638-9846 or mo.ngpao@army.mil.
