As the most recent winter storm continues in Putnam County, County Executive MaryEllen Odell has ordered all Putnam County Government Offices, with the exception of essential services, to remain closed on Thursday, March 8, 2018. “In the best interest of public safety it is important to keep all non-emergency traffic off our roadways into Thursday” said County Executive Odell. She continued “This heavy snow combined with high winds has caused numerous trees and large branches to fall creating an extreme hazard, if you don’t need to go out please stay indoors, if you do go out be mindful of the trees and branches”.
The County closing also includes Putnam County Moves, our public transportation system, Croton Falls Commuters, any fixed route PART System, ParaTransit, Veteran’s Transports and Pre-K/EI Transportation to schools in Putnam and Westchester Counties.

The closing also includes all senior activities operated by the Office of Senior Resources.
Earlier in the day County Executive Odell issued an executive order to ban all non-emergency traffic from roadways in Putnam County.
“As predicted the wind speeds have picked up and we are seeing dangerous conditions due to poor visibility and falling trees, we need to keep the roadways clear so the highway crews and emergency workers can do their jobs” said County Executive Odell.
This ban mandates that employers within Putnam County release all employees that are not essential to the continued operation of their business
“With this second winter storm coming into our area just 5 days after the first one, we still have residents without power that are now facing a second hurdle” said County Executive Odell. “Our highway crews have been working non-stop since Friday as have our emergency responders” she continued.
