How Are Snow Emergency Levels Decided – and By Whom?

Snow Emergency Levels in Campbell County are determined in accordance with County Ordinance §72.07. When snow, sleet, or freezing rain is imminent or occurring, a collaborative assessment is conducted involving the Campbell County Police Department, County Road Department, Office of Emergency Management, and the County Judge/Executive’s Office.

Following this consultation, the Campbell County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) may formally declare a Snow Emergency.

Once declared, OEM immediately notifies:

  • Local news and media outlets
  • Local city governments (police, fire, and public works)
  • Public safety partners (KYEM, NWS, KTC and etc.)
  • School district officials

Notifications are sent using the most expedient methods available based on the circumstances.
