With the predicted blizzard, I want to remind you of a few policies, phone numbers and other helpful information.
During the storm, residents are urged to travel only if absolutely necessary, and stay indoors. Residents concerned about the safety and well-being of children, elderly individuals or adults with disabilities should call the County’s Crisis Center at 240-777-4000.
For downed trees on public property, residents should call the County’s Department of Transportation at 240-777-6000. To report trees that have fallen on utility lines, contact local utility companies. Contact information is available on the county’s website at www.montgomerycountymd.gov. “Hot” wires or sparking wires, especially those across roadways, may be reported by calling 9-1-1.
Within 24 hours of the end of a snowstorm, all residential and commercial property owners are required by county law to clear their sidewalks. Residents are encouraged to help elderly or ill neighbors with this task. For more information about snow removal operations call 240-777-6000, visit the county’s website at www.montgomerycountymd.gov/snow or check out my January 14 post.

can you help us Dear Councilmember Floreen,
Can anyone can help us?
At approximately 9 am on Friday FEB 12th a plow DROVE down our street once
He dumped sand in front of 2 houses.
He did not lower his blade to scrape any snow.
This does not help us- at one end of our block – younger men have shoveled out the road for about 3 houses.
For the remaining end which we are on
many of the neighbors range in age from 70s to 90.
For these houses at least 14 of them – the road is still impassable and will soon turn into ice-
If someone wants to check this off as plowing- it is a lie and a misrepresentation.
Thank you for any help you can give us.
Sincerely,
Anne Kirchgessner
