Termination of State of Emergency Due to a Severe Winter Storm

WHEREAS, on January 23, 2026, I issued a State of Emergency due to a severe winter storm, which became effective as of 12:01 a.m. E.S.T on Sunday, January 25, 2026; and

WHEREAS, the severe winter storm resulted in hazardous conditions, including reduced visibility, snow drifts, icy road surfaces, and other roadway hazards that made travel dangerous and created potentially life-threatening conditions for the public; and

WHEREAS, the threat of weather conditions has passed, and the emergency conditions no longer exist;

WHEREAS, although the winter storm has passed, there will be dangerously cold temperatures through this week, and Delawareans should continue to exercise caution and work to protect our most vulnerable neighbors
