3/ Crews with the National Weather Service, Kanawha County Emergency Management, Kanawha County Planning, City of Charleston staff, WVEMD, KCEAA, Kanawha County Sheriff’s, and many others worked together seamlessly throughout this weather event. We are appreciative to everyone.
2/ Lives were saved by the quick response from multiple agencies. Kanawha County Metro 911 did an excellent job sounding the sirens, fielding thousands of calls and hosting the Emergency Operations Center.
