They are Cabell, Lincoln, Mason, Putnam and Wayne, the Federal Emergency Management Agency announced Thursday.
Storms starting Feb. 10 produced snow, sleet and freezing rain in southwestern West Virginia. Trees and power poles were toppled, causing widespread outages and some impassable roads.
Gov. Jim Justice included Jackson County in the state of emergency declaration, but Jackson County was found not to qualify for federal disaster aid, Emergency Management said in a news release.
Emergency Management is coordinating with FEMA to begin the application process for those affected by the winter storms.
Cabell County EMS Director Gordon Merry said the funds are public assistance made available to governmental agencies to reimburse costs related to the ice storms. Certain criteria must be met in order to get the funds.

Silver Spring-Based Researchers Looking for Volunteers for COVID-19 Vaccine Trial
Researchers at the Silver Spring-based Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) are looking for volunteers to participate in a Phase 1 clinical trial of a new type of COVID-19 vaccine.
Phase 1 of the trial will examine the vaccine’s safety and will look to generate an immune response that researchers expect to find, according to Dr. Paul Scott, Deputy Director of the WRAIR Emerging Infectious Diseases Branch. The vaccine, developed and manufactured at WRAIR, takes a novel approach and was created in a different manner than other COVID-19 vaccines.
The vaccine was created by Dr. Kayvon Modjarrad, Director of the Emerging Infectious Diseases Branch at WRAIR, and Dr. Gordon Joyce, WRAIR structural biologist and employee of the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine. Modjarrad has also led the Army’s efforts towards COVID-19 vaccine research.
Argonne s Advanced Photon Source guided the development of new COVID-19 vaccine now in trials
Human clinical trials have begun on a new vaccine candidate that may protect against not only SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, but against at least two of the variants emerging around the world. The development of this new vaccine was guided by structural information on the virus obtained at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at DOE s Argonne National Laboratory, and other light sources.
Trials are taking place at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR), part of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command, following up on early tests that showed promising results.
