Recommended actions

A Flash Flood Watch means that there is the potential for flash
flooding which can be life-threatening. Heavy rain is expected to
occur over a short period of time. Rapidly rising flood waters
may quickly inundate roadways and areas of poor drainage. Streams
and creeks could leave their banks, flooding nearby properties.
Please monitor the forecast, especially if you live in a location
that is prone to flooding. Be prepared to take action if a flash
flood warning is issued for your area.

 

If you have not done so already, sign up for emergency alerts through the Smart911/Rave system.

The OEM pages of the Township website provide information about establishing a Family Disaster Plan and links ton helpful Guides & Publications for navigating difficult weather events.
