UNDELIVERED PAPERS
Due to severe weather, some Traveler customers have not received their weekend papers. Power at the Traveler building is out and messages cannot be left, as of Saturday afternoon. We regret this disruption in service and look forward to resuming normal service when conditions improve. Thank you for your patience.
COWLEY DISASTER DECLARATION, SHELTER AVAILABLE
Emergency officials have declared Cowley County a disaster area. This opens the door to state resources, if needed, and allows utility companies to work continuously to fix power problems, said Brian Stone, emergency management coordinator for Cowley County.
Cowley is one of 62 counties declared disaster areas in Kansas by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to provide state resources to local governments, if needed. Stone said such help has not been needed at this time.
There have been reports of several accidents, but none with injuries, he said. Travel advisories remain in affect and Stone says people should stay off the roads.
Power is completely out in the towns of Atlanta and Cambridge, he said. Both fire departments can provide shelter for citizens there. In Atlanta, call (620) 229-4179 or (620) 394-2415. In Cambridge, call (620) 467-4111.
