County Shuts Down Emergency Shelter

The county is closing the Annapolis High School shelter at 6 p.m., as most county residents who took refuge there during Hurricane Irene are back in their homes, according to a county news release.

Residents who still need shelter or assistance should go to district police stations, which are equipped with cots and water.

Road closures

Across the county, road closures have decreased from 213 after the storm hit to 151. The Emergency Operations Center will remain partially activated until 5 p.m. Monday.

Public Works crews will continue to work through the night with about 45 county personnel and contractors to clear additional roads.

Power outages

Countywide, 107,961 Baltimore Gas and Electric customers remain without power. BGE is urging customers to notify it of outages by calling 877-778-2222.

Debris disposal

The Millersville Landfill and the Glen Burnie and Sudley Convenience Centers will open at 8 a.m. Monday, for storm debris disposal. The facilities are closed on Sundays.

Customers can also leave material at the curbside on their regular collection days. You can put as much yard waste at the curb as you need to. Tree limbs and branches must be less than 4 feet in length, with a maximum branch diameter of 4 inches. Put leaves, brush, branches and grass clippings in a bag or container and mark with an "X".  If not in a container, branches must be tied into bundles (not to exceed 4 feet by 4 inches in diameter).
