Jefferson City, Missouri – On Thursday, May the 2nd, Governor Mike Parson signed a new executive order, numbered 24-06, in response to the severe weather and flooding across the state, and the expectancy of further worsening conditions over the next storm.
Executive Order 24-06 activates the Missouri State Emergency Operations Plan to work in response. With the plan now in an activated state, emergency responders statewide will be better prepared to tackle any emergencies that may take place.
As a further address to the public, Governor Parson had this to say:
“We have seen the tremendous power and destruction of this past weekend’s storms in neighboring states, and with areas of Missouri already impacted, we want to ensure state resources are available should significant disruptions or damage occur,” Governor Parson said. “This action enables the state to be better prepared and ready to assist our communities. We encourage Missourians to follow their local forecasts, heed all weather warnings, and take the necessary precautions to protect themselves and their loved ones.”
