Governor Kathy Hochul activated the State Emergency Operations Center in Albany Tuesday where staff from multiple State Agencies and the Office of Emergency Management were working together to coordinate requests for assistance from local governments following the late winter storm that dumped heavy, wet snow in upstate regions, leaving 195,000 households without power and causing travel issues during Tuesday’s morning commute. The largest impacts were to the Southern Tier and parts of the Capital Region, Mohawk Valley and North Country.
