• St. Mary’s County Government will be open and liberal leave is in effect for employees.
• St. Mary’s Transit System (STS) will operate as usual however passengers should expect delays.
• The Circuit Court will be open at its regular time.
• All Senior Centers will be open as usual however there will be no home delivered meals. Congregant meals will still be available.
• All Recreation and Parks programs scheduled to be held in public schools are canceled for the day, including evening activities. All Recreation facilities and programs not held in schools are open and on-time as scheduled.

St. Mary’s County Government will continue to monitor the progress of the storm and will provide updates when necessary.
