Hoesman said he would advise Greene County residents to “stay home” - but if they must go out, to be adequately prepared.

“If people are going out for emergency purposes, they need to be prepared: charged cell phone, blankets, things of that nature,” Hoesman said. “And know where they’re at - know their location, so they can tell us to get them help.”
