SNOW EMERGENCY INFORMATION

Declaration of a Snow Emergency

Public Safety officials will make the decision regarding when a snow emergency is declared for the Borough of Downingtown.  Listen/watch KYW 1060 AM Radio and/or ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX TV to find out when a snow emergency goes into effect, as well as when it has been lifted.
Please keep children away from the street and Borough equipment during snow removal operations.  Tunneling and/or playing near the street is extremely dangerous. Remove small objects from or near the street to avoid private as well as public property damage during snow removal operations. During a snow emergency, reduce the number of trips you take.
Stay home if you can!
