Oswego Mayor discusses declaring a state of emergency

Oswego Mayor Rob Corradino discussed emergency preparedness in an interview with Marisa Jacques. He highlighted how a recent parking ban helped clear roads during a major snowstorm. This was important for ensuring that emergency vehicles could move freely. Mayor Corradino talked about how the county loaned the city plow equipment to manage the heavy snowfall. This equipment helped to push snow off the roads and make them wider. He praised city workers for their dedication, as they worked around the clock to keep up with the storm. With warmer weather approaching, the mayor shared that the city will soon focus on repairing potholes. Corradino explained the process of declaring a state of emergency. He noted that it involves coordination with city hall, the police chief, fire chief, and the Department of Public Works. Effective communication among all parties is essential for a successful response to emergencies.
