Queen Anne’s County Urges Residents to Prepare for Approaching Winter Storm

​The Queen Anne’s County Department of Emergency Services is urging residents, visitors, and travelers to prepare for an approaching winter storm expected to bring snow, reduced visibility, and dangerous travel conditions.

Officials say the storm could impact roads, utilities, and daily activities. Snow and ice may develop quickly, making travel difficult or unsafe, and power outages and delayed emergency response times are possible.

Commissioner President Jim Moran encouraged residents to prepare now and stay informed through official county updates.

Emergency Services recommends limiting travel during the storm when possible, ensuring vehicles are winter-ready, and having enough food, water, medications, and essential supplies for several days. Residents are also urged to check on family members, neighbors, and those who may need extra assistance, secure outdoor items, and keep flashlights and batteries available.

Officials remind residents that emergency services will remain operational, but response times may be longer during severe weather. Calls to 9-1-1 should be reserved for emergencies.
