Prepare to Stay Safe and Help Keep Roads Clear

A powerful winter storm is forecasted to hit our area, bringing significant snowfall and potentially hazardous travel conditions. The Pocono Township Police Department urges all residents to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and the safety of others.

**Stay Informed, Stay Safe**: Monitor local weather reports and sign up for emergency alerts from the Pocono Township Police Department to stay informed about the storm's progress and any necessary instructions.

**Prepare to Be Snowed In**: Stock up on essential supplies, including food, water, and medications, in case you are unable to leave your home for an extended period. Make sure your vehicles are winter-ready, and keep your gas tanks full.

**Help Keep Roads Clear**: To enable the Pocono Township Public Works Department and PennDOT to safely and effectively clear our roadways, please:

• Avoid traveling unless absolutely necessary.
• Keep parked vehicles off the streets to allow for snowplows to clear the roads.
• Clear your sidewalks and driveways to prevent ice buildup and ensure safe passage for emergency responders if they are needed.

By working together, we can help keep our roads clear and ensure the safety of our community. Remember, if you must travel, please exercise extreme caution and follow all traffic laws.

Stay safe, and stay informed. We will get through this winter storm together!

We would like to thank the Pocono Township Public Works Department and PennDot for their hardwork and dedication making the roads safe for township residents and its visitors. We wish them a safe tour.
