The Arkansas Division of Emergency Management (ADEM) has activated the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) in anticipation of a significant winter storm forecast to impact much of Arkansas.
This elevated activation level allows state agencies and partners to coordinate closely, rapidly respond to resource requests from counties, and support life-safety, transportation, and power restoration needs as conditions deteriorate.
