Emergency Winter Weather Message
To the Residents of House District 106
Prepare for Severe Winter Weather —
PLEASE AND STAY SAFE!
Good Day, Friends,
As we are preparing for the winter storm expected to impact on our community this weekend, I want to take a moment to share important safety information with all residents of House District 106. Your well-being is my top priority, and I encourage everyone to take this weather event seriously.
Please exercise caution, follow guidance from first responders and emergency officials. Please monitor your traffic conditions and avoid driving if roads become hazardous. Staying off the roads during dangerous conditions protects not only you, but also the crew who will be working hard to keep our community safe.
My office is actively monitoring the storm and its local impact across our district and the State. We remain in close communication with emergency management partners and will continue to share updates as conditions evolve. Please to visit this website, HOME | Carla Cunningham, for information.
