Putnam County Executive Kevin Byrne has declared a State of Emergency for Putnam County effective Sunday, February 22, following a briefing with County emergency response leadership, as a powerful winter storm is expected to bring significant snowfall and hazardous conditions to the region.

County Executive Byrne stated: “Public safety is our top priority. This storm is expected to bring heavy snowfall and dangerous travel conditions. Declaring a State of Emergency allows us to position our resources, support our local municipalities, and respond quickly to any issues that arise. I strongly urge residents to avoid travel, prepare their homes, and check on neighbors who may need assistance.”

The latest forecasts call for 12 to 18 inches of snow across Putnam County, along with strong winds that may create blowing and drifting snow and periods of near-whiteout visibility, making travel extremely dangerous.

As part of the County’s storm response:

All non-essential Putnam County offices will be closed on Monday, February 23.
Essential emergency and public safety personnel will remain on duty throughout the storm.

A Code Blue is in effect to ensure vulnerable residents have access to warm shelter. Code Blue protocols ensure that no individual in need of shelter is left out in the cold. Anyone aware of a person in need of shelter is urged to contact local law enforcement or the Department of Social Services for assistance.

The County’s Bureau of Emergency Services, Department of Public Works, Sheriff’s Office, and local highway departments have been coordinating in advance of the storm. Road crews are prepared to operate around the clock to keep main roadways passable, and emergency services will continue without interruption. Residents are encouraged to stay off the roads during snowfall.

When the plows are out please stay off the roads. If you must go out allow yourself extra time and space between others vehicles. Allow the Highway plow crews to do their job to make the roads safer for all. Stay safe 🙏
