The Village of Deer Park Office will be closed, Wednesday, January 30th and Thursday, January 31st due to extremely cold temperatures and dangerous wind chills set to impact Deer Park and the surrounding area. The Village office is scheduled to re-open on Friday, February 1st.
Wind chills between -45 to -55 and temperatures significantly below zero are expected. Temperatures this cold can cause frostbite to exposed skin in as little as five minutes and can cause other life-threatening situations. The decision to close the Village Office comes after a careful evaluation of these dangerous conditions. Ultimately, safety outweighs the inconvenience of a minor disruption in services and Staff will be working remotely, including answering phone calls and emails as possible. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
