The Maryland Insurance Administration has opened a virtual center for those who may have been affected by the weekend storm. This is specifically for individuals to ask insurance related questions about storm damage. While the MIA refers to it as a “Disaster Center” there is no declared disaster from this storm. The MIA also has post-storm related information on their website, https://insurance.maryland.gov/Consumer/Pages/postDisaster.aspx, and remains available outside this event for insurance related questions https://insurance.maryland.gov/Pages/contacts-at-mia.aspx.

Wiles Branch Park is closed until further notice, including the dog park, so that crews can clean up the debris and downed trees from the storm.

The Town has been in contact with the trash hauler regarding our brown bag yard waste pickup. Please observe the following:

Branches: Branches placed out for pickup must be bundled, no more than 4 feet long and 4 inches in diameter, and light enough to be lifted by one person. For larger branches, residents may contact S&P Tree Care, All Branched Out Tree Services, or another tree service at their own expense.

Please note: Frederick County accepts yard waste drop-off of branches up to 6 inches in diameter and 8 feet in length.

Fallen trees from Town property will be cleaned up ASAP, any unsafe conditions will be a priority.

The Town has received complaints of bushes and tree limbs extending over the sidewalks along E. Main Street.

Please check your property and correct any violations. If you see any violations, please report them to Town Hall.
