All Putnam County Government Offices, with the exception of essential services will be CLOSED Monday, 12/2/19

After meeting with the ICS Team and evaluating the impact of the current weather conditions, Putnam County Executive MaryEllen Odell has closed all Putnam County Government Offices with the exception of essential services for Monday, December 2, 2019.

This includes:

Our public transportation system which includes the Croton Falls Commuters and fixed route PART System

Pre-K/EI Transportation to schools in Putnam and Westchester Counties.

All senior services.

 

Blizzard boxes, an emergency meal, were previously delivered to our seniors.

“The mixture of snow and ice has made the roads treacherous and travel difficult”, said County Executive Odell.  “With the forecast calling for snow and ice through tomorrow morning the county is closing in an effort to help keep traffic at a minimum and allow our highway crews and emergency workers to continue to do their jobs effectively”.

Remember to check on family, friends and vulnerable neighbors and if you MUST travel Monday morning give yourself enough time and drive carefully.

Residents are reminded that to report a power outage or downed wires you should call your local utility company; NYSEG 800-572-1131. Central Hudson 845-452-2700 or use their apps.
