Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said Friday that she has declared a state of emergency and is activating the National Guard ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Lee. The governor held a 12 p.m. press conference at the State House with the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency and other state officials to discuss what is being done to prepare. The emergency declaration, Healey said, puts the state in the best possible position to respond in the ways they need, positioning equipment and personnel.
