Rockland County Executive Ed Day has announced that the State of Emergency will be rescinded and travel ban lifted effective 5 p.m. Monday, following the blizzard that impacted Rockland County and the surrounding region with 15 to 24 inches of snow.

Despite the ban ending, residents are strongly urged to stay off the roads Monday evening if able to allow highway crews to continue snow removal and cleanup operations safely and efficiently.

“Our Highway, public safety, and emergency services personnel worked tirelessly throughout this storm to keep our residents safe,” said County Executive Ed Day. “While we are lifting the travel ban and ending the State of Emergency, road conditions may still be challenging, and we are urging residents to use caution and avoid unnecessary travel so crews can complete the cleanup process.”
