In wake of the approaching snow, sleet and ice storm, the City of St. Peters’ Emergency Management Team is managing the City’s response, coordinating with other regional emergency management agencies and tracking the storm.

All crews and trucks are ready to go to keep the City’s roadways as safe as possible. When the storm hits, residents are asked to stay off the City’s roadways if possible for their safety and to make clearing operations more effective. Residents are also asked to move parked cars and other obstructions from the street to allow snowplows to get through.

The City of St. Peters urges residents who have Internet access or cell phones able to receive text messages to sign up for Nixle, an emergency notification service the City uses to send out urgent messages to its residents. A link to sign up for this free service is available on the home page of the City’s website, www.stpetersmo.net. Click on the green Emergency Notifications Sign Up link on the left side of the home page.

The City’s government TV channel (SPTV) will switch from regular programming to extensive traffic, weather forecast and radar coverage. The video features live views of Highway 70 at Highway 94; and another camera at the intersection of Cave Springs and Highway 70. Please note, in case of extreme ice situations, these cameras may have limited or no visibility. The channel will also be airing updates regarding trash collection delays or other emergency information.

You can access SPTV via Channel 992 on Charter Cable, Channel 99 on AT&T U-Verse, and available live at www.stpetersmo.net. Also, if you subscribe to Charter Communications Cable and your TV, DVR or DVD player is equipped with a QAM Tuner, you can access St. Peters TeleVision on the 108-channel group.
