Palo Alto County Radon

15/03/2026

Due to the significant snowfall and blowing snow, please inspect furnace vents outside your residence to ensure they are not obstructed, as blocked vents can lead to a dangerous accumulation of carbon monoxide indoors.

Due to the blizzard conditions affecting our area, the Palo Alto County Sheriff's Office is recommending no travel. High winds and heavy snowfall are projected to continue throughout the day, and reduced visibility are making roadways extremely hazardous. Snowplows and emergency responders are working but conditions may delay response times. If you don't need to be on the road, please stay home and allow crews the opportunity to clear roads and respond to emergencies. If you decide to travel, make sure you have winter survival items in your vehicle. We will continue to post updates. As of now, the power is out in Emmetsburg and Mid American is working to fix the issue.
