February 10th State of Emergency

Yet another storm, yet another mitigation and relief effort. W3HZW is staffed at the Kent County Delaware EOC, and a local-ish shelter. Unfortunately for reasons unknown the Red Cross would not open a nearer location to the state capital, (reason unclear at this time), so the nearest shelter is 20 miles +/- away.

So far as of 0144 UTC 11th Feb, the shelter is at 14+ displaced persons, and there are a myriad of others in local hotels and medical facilities, moved courtesy of the good and hard working folks of the DE National Guard in the absence of a more local shelter.
