Spring is here, and it is the perfect time to prepare for the warmer months ahead! Here's how to prepare for both spring emergencies and summer droughts:
- Flood Preparedness: Clear gutters and downspouts, ensure proper drainage away from your home, and consider installing a sump pump. Stay informed about flood risks in your area. If there is a flood risk the information will be posted on the main page of the Township’s website.
- Severe Weather Readiness: Create an emergency kit with essentials like water, non-perishable food, flashlight, and first aid supplies. Stay informed about severe weather warnings and have a plan for shelter.
- Water Conservation: Install rain barrels to collect spring showers for summer use. Use this water to hydrate gardens and plants during dry spells, helping to conserve precious water resources.
Let's welcome spring responsibly by staying informed and prepared!
