I joined @NEMAtweets, @NENationalGuard, and local emergency managers to receive an updated briefing and inspect flooded areas. I have also signed an emergency declaration to ensure state resources are available for cleanup. Please continue to exercise extreme caution around flooded areas and damaged infrastructure, and join me in expressing gratitude for the first responders and road crews who have worked around the clock responding to this flooding and keeping Nebraskans safe.

Heavy rain has moved into the area and will continue overnight. Flooding, especially in low-lying areas is very likely and may make travel difficult. Use extreme caution on the road overnight and plan plenty of extra time for your morning commute. TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN!

Stay alert after a disaster. Hidden hazards may remain around your home & community. Don’t enter a damaged home if you smell gas, floodwater remains, or officials haven’t declared it safe. Report hazards & keep a battery-powered radio nearby for updates. 🔗ready.gov/

Still expecting some storms this evening, with a small chance (under 5%) that a few could be severe. The main threats would be damaging winds and hail. If you'll be outdoors, know where to seek shelter if storms approach.
Panels showing what radar could look like from 7 PM through 10 PM. Storms develop in a line from Aurora toward West Point, NE and edge southeastward. Strength tapers off toward 10 PM. What to know: Line of storms expected to develop this evening, though it could still shift slightly north or south. A few could be strong to severe, with damaging winds and hail the primary threats. What to do: Outdoor plans? Keep an eye on the weather and know where to seek shelter if storms approach your location. At the very least, you may want to bring a raincoat if you’ll be outside.

Wherever your travels take you, a basic car emergency kit is essential. Be prepared for the unexpected by keeping these items in your vehicle: a first aid kit, water, a flashlight, reflective safety items, jumper cables and tow straps, a map, portable charger, and blankets. Having these basics on hand helps you stay safe until help arrives or conditions improve. 🚗🛠️🔦 #CarSafety #EmergencyKit #NationalPreparednessMonth
