Full Notification

Mayor Robert White and Police Chief Robert Kugler have designated the Saddle Brook Police Department (63 Market Street) as a “cooling station” to help residents stay cool during the forecasted high temperatures. The National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat watch for today through Sunday evening. Residents may utilize the Police Department as a cooling station 24-hours a day.

Residents are urged to limit exposure outside, particularly during the hottest part of the day - roughly 11 am to 6 pm. Those who must be outside should take frequent breaks and drink plenty of water.

High body temperatures and dehydration will make other medical conditions, such as heart and breathing problems, much worse. It is very important to stay cool and hydrated when the heat index reaches these dangerous levels.

Residents are urged to check on elderly neighbors and advise them of the cooling station, remind them to remain hydrated and to contact the Saddle Brook Police Department or dial 911 in the event of an emergency.
