'Blizzard '78 After Action Report' Save

Description: The "Blizzard '78 After Action Report" was issued by the office of the Adjutant General of Ohio and describes the efforts of the National Guard and other state agencies during the Blizzard of 1978. Topics include logistics and operations of various groups and command centers during the statewide emergency, use of civilian volunteers and private contractors, and recommendations and lessons learned for future disaster response. The final page of the report is the Governor's Proclamation ordering military units and personnel into active duty under the authorization of the Adjutant General. In January and February 1978, a series of three storms hit the Midwest and Northeast United States. These storms were some of the most severe winter events to occur in recent history, and collectively are known as the Blizzard of 1978. The second storm found Ohio in its path. From January 25 to 27, between one and three feet of snow fell across Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Winds averaged between fifty and seventy miles per hour, creating snowdrifts as deep as 25 feet. With temperatures already hovering near zero, the wind chill was deadly, reaching 60 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. Over 70 people died in this storm; 51 of the victims were in Ohio.
