HURRICANE IRENE TO POUND REGION WITH HEAVY RAINS AND STRONG WINDS TAKE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES TO SAFEGUARD YOUR PROPERTY AND PERSONAL POSESSIONS. NOT TO MENTION YOUR LIFE. Be prepared with bottled water, batteries, battery-operated radios, flashlights, candles, and in general to have a “To-Go Bag”. High winds are anticipated. Bring inside all outdoor furniture, play sets, grills and any object that could become airborne that will break windows and do damage to cars and homes. Remove all vehicles from the streets and, if possible, park cars in garages. Local flooding may occur, therefore, prepare basements if they are prone to flooding and check sump pumps.  DO NOT drive through roads with standing water. Elderly, homebound, and other special needs people (requiring oxygen, commercial power) should seek and have alternate power in cases where power outages may occur. Residents should call 911 if street flooding, trees and power lines down and other life threatening emergencies. For other non-emergency events use 610-437-5252. If community events (i.e. sports, street fairs, etc.) and meetings are to take place this weekend, if the weather forecast warrants, we encourage cancellation of those events.
