Cabell County activates Emergency Operations

Posted: Updated:
HUNTINGTON, West Virginia -

Cabell County Emergency Operations has been activated to provide public information regarding shelters and non-emergency assistance.

The activation allows county and city leaders to gather in one place to share information and assess the situation.

Elizabeth Ayers, Public Information Officer for Cabell-Huntington Health Department says the goal at this time is identifying shelters where people can go if they lost power in Friday night's storm and need a cool place to stay.

People who need information about assistance that's available can call the non-emergency number 304-526-6544.

Shelters are now open at the Salvation Army on 12th Avenue in Huntington, and Big Sandy Civic Arena Conference Center on 3rd Avenue.
