Front Royal Braces for Winter Storm: Safety and Preparedness Measures

As the winter storm looms over the Town of Front Royal, residents are urged to brace themselves for its potential impact. The town, fully aware of the gravity of the situation, has put its emergency response plans into motion, ensuring swift action against power outages and other related issues.

In case residents experience a power loss, the town advises reporting it either online or by calling the Non-Emergency Police line at (540) 635-2111. This line is also the go-to for any other utility or town-related concerns. Moreover, to stay informed about widespread power outages and utility issues, signing up for text or email alerts is recommended.

The town’s snow removal strategy focuses primarily on ensuring emergency vehicle access. Key arterial roads such as Royal Ave, Commerce Ave, South St, and Shenandoah Ave will be cleared first. The town seeks the cooperation of its citizens for effective and efficient snow clearing. Residents are asked to assist by parking off the street if possible, refraining from driving and removing snow/ice from adjacent sidewalks. It’s also advised to wait until after the streets have been cleared before shoveling driveways and mailboxes, as these areas might unintentionally get blocked again.

Residents are requested to avoid pushing snow into the street, as this can lead to hazardous conditions when the snow melts and refreezes. The town acknowledges the frustration snow events can cause and commits to clearing the streets promptly and efficiently.

In any emergency, residents are reminded to call 9-1-1 immediately.

The Town of Front Royal emphasizes the importance of staying safe and warm during this challenging weather period.
