The Carroll County Department of Public Works is preparing the roads and back up systems for the storm.

The Bureau of Roads Operation crews are prepared for the storm according to a county government news release. The snow plows were loaded with salt, fueled and ready to begin clearing county roads Tuesday night. Road crews will continue working throughout the storm to keep the roadways as clear as possible the release said.

If residents experience problems with a county road, government officials ask that you contact the Roads Department at 410-386-6717.

The county has also made other preparations. In case of power outages, emergency generators are in place and fueled at the county water and sanitary sewer facilities. Maintenance and facilities personnel will be working to clear county owned and maintained sidewalks and parking lots as soon as possible to ensure continued county operations according to the release.
