For Castle Shannon residents and businesses, our emergency services crews responded to several wire down calls and tree/branches down during the storm on Tuesday evening.

Compared to other neighboring communities, we consider our damage to be relatively low.

We will work with Allegheny County Emergency Management Officials to conduct damage assessment in the coming days and weeks.

In an effort to accurately capture damage reports and power outages, please email information affecting your homes and businesses to info@csboro.com.

Of course, all officials realize the frustration that comes with power outages and difficulty in reaching utilities and other responding agencies.

Please report emergencies to 911.

Please check on elderly and disabled neighbors.

Together we will adapt and overcome this situation.

Your patience and understanding will go a long way to helping us.

Important storm notes

Here is important information about the recent storm:

Assume ALL downed trees have charged power lines in them. You can’t always tell and it’s not worth the risk.

Keep pets away from downed trees and wires.

Assume all fences near downed trees and wires are electrified.

If you see caution tape or barricades, our emergency responders are aware of the incident.

Do NOT tie up valuable resources by making duplicate calls.

If a traffic light is out, it is an ALL WAY STOP.

Please do not report incidents on any of our social media channels as they are not monitored by first responders.

Call 911 if it is an emergency (wires down, arcing wires, fire or other life-threatening emergency.)

Do NOT call 911 to report a power outage or to get an update. Call the power company:
