The Falls Township Police Department would like to share important information from the Governor’s Office regarding severe weather that can be expected in our area as a result of remnants from Hurricane/Tropical Storm Ida.

 

According to the National Weather Service, “rain is expected to begin late Tuesday night in southwestern Pennsylvania and spread to the north and east throughout the day Wednesday into Thursday morning. The heaviest rain is expected Wednesday into Wednesday night”.

PEMA is encouraging citizens to prepare for emergencies in the hopes that this will make a difference on how we react and recover from them.   If you would like information on how to be better prepared and receive information, the information can be obtained through the Ready PA webpage.  

Falls Township Police is encouraging our residents to stay home and avoid travel if possible.   If you do have to travel, please allow time, expect debris in roadway, have alternate routes, and avoid any areas that could be flooding.  Do not drive through streets or roadways if they are flooding.
