Blizzard Update: February 25th, 2026 @ 5 p.m.
We continue to thank residents for their patience as we continue work to bring Yarmouth back up after the blizzard. We will bounce back as long as we continue to work together, help each other out, or even just check in on one another.
Power restoration crews continue to bring power back to Yarmouth residents… as of 4:30 pm, 35% are without power. On Monday, it was 88% of Yarmouth, so progress is being made quickly, and we cannot thank these crews enough for their work.

Emergency Shelter @ Dennis-Yarmouth High School
For those among the 35% without heat or electricity, the emergency shelter at Dennis-Yarmouth High School remains open and available for those in need.
Residents needing transportation to a regional shelter may call CCRTA/RTA 508-385-1430, Option 2 (service subject to road conditions).
Pets are permitted at regional shelters (bring supplies if possible).

If you need to report a non-emergency storm-related issue, we ask you to do so through the town’s request tracker, so DPW crews can prioritize safety issues such as downed power lines, fallen trees, and emergency access needs.
You can submit your storm-related requests online here: https://yarmouth.ma.us/requesttracker.asp

With the amount of wet & heavy snow, don’t forget to check on the roof of your home. We have posted tips on our website for homeowners and building owners to prevent structural damage from happening. You can find that information here: https://yarmouth.ma.us/DocumentCenter/View/21812/FEMA-Snow-Load-Safety-Guidance

SAFETY REMINDERS FROM THE YARMOUTH FIRE DEPARTMENT
- NEVER use your stove or oven to heat your home. This poses a serious risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Keep generators outside. Place them at least 20 feet away from windows, doors, and vents to prevent fumes from entering your home.
- Use battery-operated lights. Avoid candles if possible to reduce fire risks.
- Check on your neighbors. Especially those who are elderly or vulnerable.
- Check or replace batteries in smoke detectors.
