Gov. Butch Otter has added five more counties to his disaster declaration due to the extreme winter storm conditions up north. Last week, Otter declared disaster emergencies for Bonner, Boundary, Kootenai and Latah counties. Now, he’s added Benewah, Clearwater, Fremont, Power and Shoshone counties. The declaration opens the way for state government support to the counties to cope with the effects of the storms. Already, more than 60 Idaho National Guard soldiers have been assigned to clear snow from school roofs in Shoshone and Bonner counties.
