As this winter storm moves in, I want to encourage everyone to stay home and stay off the roads if at all possible. Crews and emergency responders need clear access to do their jobs safely, and the best way we can help is by staying put.
Please check on neighbors if you can do so safely, keep phones charged, and use extra layers to stay warm if power outages occur. If you have an emergency, call 911. Stafford Sheriffs non emergency number is 540-658-4400.
Please stay safe and take care of one another.
