As a heavy winter storm is forecasted to impact South Jersey beginning Sunday, Jan. 25 into Monday, Jan. 26, the Camden County Board of Commissioners and the Camden County Department of Public Works are prepared to handle any and all emergencies due to the weather. Southern New Jesey is expected to receive anywhere from 8 to 12 inches of snow.
“We have not seen a snowstorm of this magnitude and severity in over a decade,” said Commissioner Jonathan Young, liaison to the Department of Public Safety. “The safety of the residents of Camden County is paramount and our number one priority. The more people we have out on the roads, the greater chance there is of an emergency situation unfolding. If it is not absolutely necessary, please stay home, and off the roads.”
Camden County’s Department of Public Works and Camden County Parks Department will be working throughout the duration of the storm to ensure that county roadways are passable, and to respond to downed trees and debris.
Due to the impeding inclement weather, all branches of the Camden County Library System will be closed on Sunday, Jan. 25. Additionally, all in-person classes, activities, and student services at Camden County College are canceled for Monday, Jan. 26, at all campuses and instructional locations. Online courses will continue as scheduled.
