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.
