Baker Announces State Office Closures for Non-Emergency State Employees
BOSTON – Tonight, Governor Charlie Baker announced that state offices
will be closed tomorrow for non-emergency, executive branch state employees.
Due to the upcoming winter storm, the Baker-Polito Administration is urging
everyone to stay off roadways if possible, allowing crews to clear snow that
will accumulate across the state throughout the day.
“Tomorrow’s forecast is expected to create hazardous driving
conditions across many parts of the Commonwealth. To prioritize public safety,
we are asking everyone to stay off the roads to allow crews to safely clear
snow or use public transportation,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “Please
assist us by shoveling driveways and sidewalks in your communities, and be sure
to lend a hand to neighbors in need.”
The Baker-Polito Administration remains in close contact with the
Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, National Weather Service, MassDOT
and State Police to monitor the forecast and will work to alert the public with
important updates or notifications. The MBTA Storm Desk will continue to
monitor rail service throughout the storm and provide updates to commuters at MBTA.com/winter.
State Office Closures: State offices will be closed for all non-emergency, executive
branch state employees on Thursday, February 9, 2017.
Highway Travel: Commutes and travel will be significantly impacted with snow
covered roads, low visibility and possible white-out conditions.
Motorists should stay off the roads and use public transit when possible. If
you must drive, please exercise caution, “don’t crowd the plow”, and stay
behind snow removal equipment on the roadways.
MBTA: The MBTA, including the commuter rail, is preparing to operate on
a normal schedule tomorrow. Commuters are encouraged to be patient, allow
plenty of time for travel and plan ahead by checking MBTA.com/winter or @MBTA
on Twitter for real-time updates.
Public Safety: Please clear home and auto exhaust vents to prevent carbon
monoxide exposure and avoid downed utility wires. Also, please assist in
keeping sidewalks, and fire hydrants and storm drains in your neighborhood
clear.
The State Emergency Operations Center
at MEMA Headquarters in Framingham will be activating tomorrow morning to
provide situational awareness and coordinate any requested assistance to cities
and towns.
