Officials will weigh storm response improvements

The state’s Emergency Management Advisory Council is meeting today to present some suggestions on how to better manage the state during inclement weather.

Lt. Gov. Elizabeth Roberts and Major General Robert T. Bray -- head of the state National Guard and acting executive director of the state Emergency Management Agency -- will join other State Emergency Management officials to discuss the results of the Council’s review of emergency response during the Dec. 13 snow storm.

According to a statement released by Roberts, the review covers some newly implemented and proposed solutions for the “failures of emergency response.”

The meeting is set for 2 p.m. at East Providence City Hall.
