Greene County Commissioners lifts red Travel Warning; Greene County now under an orange Travel Watch

A Travel Status Watch (Orange) Level II has been issued for Greene County. The Travel Status Warning (Red) Level III was lifted for Greene County on Wednesday morning, February 17. The change was made by Nathan Abrams, president of the Greene County Board of Commissioners. Greene County Emergency Management Director Roger Axe announced the status change around 7:30 a.m.

The Indiana Department of Homeland Security defines three travel status levels. Of these, a Warning (Red) Level III is the highest level of local travel advisory. The next level is a Watch (Orange) Level II.

A Watch (Orange) Level II travel status means that conditions are threatening to the safety of the public. During a "watch" local travel advisory, only essential travel, such as to and from work or in emergency situations, is recommended, and emergency action plans should be implemented by businesses, schools, government agencies, and other organizations.
