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!
