With Blizzard Over, EOC Shuts Down

With the worst of the blizzard behind us, the joint village and town Emergency Operations Center in East Hampton has closed. 

At 3 p.m., the center, which was for those with storm-related questions and needs to phone for help, shut down, Village Police Chief Jerry Larsen announced on Saturday afternoon. 

Anyone who has questions or needs assistance can call the East Hampton Town Police Department at 631-537-7575 or the East Hampton Village Police Department at 631-324-0777, depending on your location. For emergencies, dial 911. 

East Hampton Town Supervisor Bill Wilkinson reported that only a few people used the warming center, at Town Hall, on Saturday. It was unclear exactly when that would close down for the evening. 

Meanwhile, East Hampton Town Highway Supervisor Stephen Lynch said he expects his workers to have finished plowing by 3:30 or 4 p.m. They will then salt the roads, and call it a night, after working through Friday night.
