New York will deploy 100 National Guard police officers and additional New York State troopers to enforce a driving ban in Buffalo amid what Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has called the “blizzard of the century,” according to ABC News.
Of the 30 confirmed deaths in New York related to the blizzard, 28 are from Erie County, where Buffalo is located, according to ABC; three of those people died due to EMC not being able to get to them on time to handle medical emergencies. Authorities have found 18 bodies around the city, mostly in cars, and plan to start issuing summonses to those caught driving as people continue to flout the ban and get stuck in the snow.
