Libertyville Can Seek Federal Aid for Blizzard of 2011
FEMA declared Lake County a disaster area during the recent snowstorm.
Libertyville, like other Lake County towns, will be eligible for federal disaster aid to cover the cost of the Blizzard of 2011, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said Thursday. Funding is “available to state and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the snowstorm,” according to a FEMA release. Lake, McHenry, Kane, DeKalb and Cook counties are all eligible, FEMA stated. The historic snowstorm hit Jan.31 and paralyzed the entire region with 17 to 20 inches of snow in some areas.

Forest Preserves Closed on Wednesday
Don’t head to the forest preserves for snow day sledding, as all sites closed tomorrow.
The Lake County Forest Preserve District offices and sites will be closed tomorrow for, probably, the first time ever due to snow. “It’s a matter of safety. We’re supposed to be close to zero visibility and we want our staff to be safe, and we don’t want to encourage people to put their selves in danger to go out to the forest preserve,” said Mike Tully, director of operations and public safety for the Lake County Forest Preserve District.
