State of Emergency ends

The Delaware State of Emergency is terminated as of 3 p.m., Jan. 26.

Level 1 driving warnings remain in place for New Castle and Kent counties, which means motorists should avoid traveling on roadways unless there is a significant safety, health or business reason to do so. All motorists are urged to drive with extreme caution.

Residents and motorists are strongly encouraged to continue following weather-related news and updates from local authorities as crews continue working to clear secondary roads where driving conditions may remain dangerous. A National Weather Service cold weather advisory remains in effect from the evening of Monday, Jan. 26, continuing through Wednesday, Jan. 28, due to a prolonged period of subfreezing temperatures. 

“I am grateful that Delaware residents helped weather this winter storm by being prepared, staying informed and by remaining at home, allowing emergency crews to clear the roads and respond to calls for assistance,” said Delaware Gov. Matt Meyer in a press release.  “As I terminate this State of Emergency, I ask for continued caution on the roads. I know I am not alone in my expression of gratitude to the emergency response community who worked so diligently to keep us all safe and well.”
