With the expected winter storm arriving in the next few days, we are asking residents to keep a few key safety measures in mind. 

Key Safety Measures:

• Travel Precautions: Stay off roads if possible; if travel is necessary, use low-beam headlights and increase following distances.
• Vehicle Prep: Clear all snow/ice from the car, maintain a full gas tank, and carry an emergency kit with a blanket, shovel, and ice scraper.
• Home Safety: Prepare supplies, including food & water, flashlights, batteries, and necessary medications.
• Sidewalks: Shovel sidewalks when it is safe to do so.
• Community Care: Check on neighbors, particularly older adults or those with limited mobility.
• Physical Health: Avoid overexertion while shoveling to prevent heart-related issues.
• Emergency Contact: Call 911 immediately in emergencies. 

ELPD Officers and Borough Officials will be on patrol for the duration of the storm.  Please Stay Safe and Stay Warm!
