**** WINTER WEATHER BULLETIN ****
**** From Mayor Rawlings-Blake's Office of Neighborhoods ****

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has issued a strong warning to Baltimore City residents to stay off the roads and remain at home where it is safe. Already over 20-25 inches of snow have fallen on the city. As the snow continues, the Mayor’s number one priority is to keep on top of the snow plowing so first responders can access the streets.

Phases I and II of the Snow Emergency Plan are now in effect in Baltimore City. This means that all vehicles traveling on city roadways must be equipped with snow tires, all weather radials or chains. In addition, parking is prohibited along designated Snow Emergency Routes.

Below is a list of contact numbers, should you need assistance during this weather event.

IMPORTANT CONTACT NUMBERS
Emergency ……………. 9-1-1
Non-emergency assistance………. 3-1-1
BGE ……………877-778-2222
Verizon ………..800-275-2355

Throughout the weekend, please check in on your elderly or disabled neighbors. Before you visit the store for extra batteries, water or food, ask if you can get something for them as well. The city has increased shelter capacity for those who need it. People needing shelter can go to the main city shelter at 210 Guilford Avenue.

Residents are urged to listen to radio and television for updates. Those interested in additional information and throughout this weather event can visit www.396snow.com or call the city’s snow line at 410-396-SNOW.
