Montgomery County government has a website that can answer the question of “who plows my street?”, shows you snow removal status, and allows you to submit a snow-related service request to the county or state.
Visit the Montgomery County Winter Information Portal for additional information. Additionally, the Montgomery County Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (OEMHS), is offering tips to be #WinterReady. They can be seen below:
“Winter weather may include freezing rain, ice, heavy snow, high winds, or a combination of all these conditions. It can cause power outages that last for days or weeks, making it hard to keep warm or access food and medical care. Winter storms can take out communication networks and make travel very dangerous.
House fires and carbon monoxide-related deaths increase with the cold weather and often, dangerous driving conditions like black ice are difficult or impossible to see, increasing the risk of accidents. During a winter storm, the best way to stay safe is to minimize travel by car. Extreme cold can be especially dangerous for those working outside, as well as older adults and those with underlying health issues, which can make them more vulnerable to hypothermia.
Dangerous driving conditions, slippery sidewalks, and bitter cold pose serious hazards, so residents are encouraged to be prepared, stay informed, and have a plan.” More here.
