State Agencies Preparing for Major Winter Storm
The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA), and other agencies are preparing for a major winter storm that is expected to impact the state starting Sunday night.

Heavier snow could begin Monday around 6 a.m., with snowfall rates of one inch an hour possible.

Governor John Carney has activated the Delaware National Guard to support storm response operations. DEMA is also activating its Emergency Operations Center in Smyrna and coordinating with state, county, and local partners to meet ongoing needs for the duration of the event. State officials could also issue driving restrictions such as a Level 1 Driving Warning, which cautions motorists of adverse weather conditions and urges them to stay off the road if possible. Motorists are asked to use caution and common sense if driving is necessary.
