If you experience a medical emergency, call 911. If wires are blown down and are causing a dangerous situation call 911. Non-emergency issues should wait until the storm has passed. To sign up for Southbury breaking news alerts and more, click here.

Our Public Works department remains on the road plowing. They are working long hours to make the roads as passable as possible, however, you should stay off the roads. If conditions are not safe, drivers may take a break until conditions allow safe travel. Please do not call public works or the police department to have your road plowed. They will get to them as they can. If there is an emergency in your area, the plows will respond along with emergency responders to clear the way.

First Responders, Fire, Ambulance, and Police remain on standby, ready to respond to any emergency. They will do their best to respond to all emergencies but must exercise caution and will need to prioritize calls.
Finally, please stay off the roads for your safety as well as the safety of our plow drivers, Police, Ambulance, and Fire. Please, check with your neighbors, especially the elderly and women late in their pregnancy. When clearing snow, stay hydrated, and lift carefully. We will post updates as they become available.
