NEW ULM -- New Ulm is expected to declare a state of emergency related to the COVID-19 virus, Tuesday.
Declaring a state of emergency is a necessary step in securing potential funding from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Minnesota Homeland Security Emergency Management public assistance funding.
This process is in compliance with the city of New Ulm Emergency Operation Plan (EOP) and the Federal Incident Command System (ICS).
In preparation for this discussion the Emergency Management Committee will have a representative at the city council meeting today to respond to comments and answer questions.
