FROM STEUBEN COUNTY EMERGENCY SERVICES: EVACUATION ORDER FOR CANISTEO, ADDISON CAMPBELL LIFTED
Steuben County has lifted the Emergency Orders for the evacuation of the Villages of Addison and Canisteo. At this time, residents can return to their homes in these areas.
First responders indicate that flood waters have receded. Portions of many roads in the area remain closed, so residents are urged to exercise extreme caution in their travels. Please obey all road/bridge closure signs and do not attempt to drive through standing water.
When residents reach their home, if their natural gas service is not functioning, they are advised to call their natural gas provider.
If residents smell the odor of natural gas, they should not enter the building, and should call 911 immediately.
The evacuation orders for the hamlets of Jasper and Woodhull remain in effect, as primary access roads remain closed.
