The City of Winchester has partially activated its EOC in preparation for Hurricane Sandy. We will continue to monitor the storm and will go to full activation if circumstances dictate doing so. City staff remains on alert and is prepared to respond as needed.
We set up an Information Call Center for citizen use for any "non-emergency calls" The "direct dial" numbers are as follows. Citizens who have questions should use these numbers so that our Emergency Call Center is not saturated with non-emergency calls.
540-545-4738 or 540-545-4737
