Full Notification

Attention Residents.  Due the  snowstorm currently hitting our area, the following items must be noted:
 
The Senior / Community bus and Senior Medical Transport are not running today..  Further cancellations during the week may be possible. Seniors may also call Emergency Management to schedule snow clearing, free of charge.  Service will be limited to clearing steps and a path to the sidewalk. Call 201-362-1942 to be put on this list.
 
Snow emergency routes will be enforced.  Please do not park your car on the East side of Garden Street, the East side of Jefferson Street, the East side of Seventh Street, the North side of Division Avenue and the North side of Summit Avenue.  Please move as many cars off the streets as you can to make cleaning the streets easier for our Public Works Department.  Also, do not put items into the street to mark parking spots as this makes properly clearing the street difficult. If you must park in the street, please keep the Alternate Side Parking in mind as we use this to aid in cleaning the streets. ALTERNATE SIDE PARKING IS BEING ENFORCED.
 

When clearing your property, which must be done within 24 hours of the end of the storm, do not throw snow back into the street.  This action is both illegal and unsafe.  Violators will be issued a summons. Reminder that you also need to remove snow from the roof of your vehicle before driving.
 
Due to the possibility of a power outage, all residents are urged to make sure they have flashlights, portable radios and charge their cell phones before the storm.  Remember, household cordless phones will not work during a power outage.  Should you experience a power outage, and are on devices which require power to sustain life, please contact the Office of Emergency Management at 201-362-1942.  Do not approach any downed wires.
 
Residents should report downed wires or power outages by calling PSE&G’s Customer Service line at 1-800-436-PSEG.  Also, customers can report outages at www.pseg.com or by texting “OUT” to 4PSEG (47734). The utility’s mobile-friendly website includes an “Outage Map” that is updated every 15 minutes and displays the location and status of power outages in PSE&G’s service area.
 
Please keep off the streets as much as possible during this storm.  Please check on elderly or handicapped neighbors.  Keep informed, and keep safe.
 
If you need assistance, contact the Office of Emergency Management at 201-362-1942.
