The Mount Vernon Police Department encourages all residents to begin preparing now for severe winter weather expected this weekend. Significant snowfall is possible, which could lead to hazardous road conditions and power outages.

To help keep you and your family safe, please take time before the storm arrives to prepare:

• Ensure you have propane and gasoline
• Stock up on firewood
• Refill all necessary medications
• Gather non-perishable food supplies
• Have an adequate supply of drinking water
• Charge phones and emergency devices
• Check on elderly neighbors and family members

And although forecast due tend to change, you can never be too prepared!

Once snowfall begins, avoid unnecessary travel and allow emergency personnel and road crews to do their jobs safely.

Please stay alert, stay prepared, and stay safe.

Happy New Year from the Mount Vernon Police Department!

As you make plans for tonight, remember—buzzed driving is drunk driving. Alcohol continues to be a leading factor in fatal roadway crashes, and nearly every one of those deaths was preventable.

As usual, our officers will be out patrolling tonight to help keep everyone safe. If you choose to drink and drive, you will go to jail. This New Year’s Eve, plan ahead and protect your family and neighbors. Drive sober or get pulled over!
