DoorDash activates severe weather protocol in parts of SD & MN

SIOUX FALLS, SD (Dakota News Now) – DoorDash has activated its Severe Weather Protocol and suspended operations in eastern South Dakota and western Minnesota.

This precaution comes as a severe winter storm brings dangerous snow conditions, including several inches of snow, ice and high winds.

All DoorDash operations in the following areas have been suspended since Friday, March 31 at 10:30 a.m. local time.

• Aberdeen
  
• Watertown
  
• Pierre
  
• Huron
  

Minnesota:
