Storm Update From Office of Emergency Management

As we continue to feel the effects from Ian, we can expect continued gusty winds, rain, and moderate tidal flooding. 

 

TIDES:

Today’s high-tide of concern will occur at approximately 4.30 PM; and flood waters are expected to continue to rise for approximately one-hour afterwards.

Please take precautions, such as keeping your vehicles out of flood zones and not venturing-out during times of high tide. 

This storm system should start to move out starting on Wednesday, slowly bringing improved conditions for our area.

 

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD WATERS:

We continue to see vehicles driving through tidal flood waters, causing destructive wakes – and we continue to see vehicles stall-out while doing so, requiring rescue from nearby residents and the police. 

For the sake of you and your passengers – and the residents and properties around you – please turn around when approaching flood waters and find alternative routes.


NEED ASSISTANCE?

As always, if you need non-emergency police assistance, call 609-263-4311 extension “0” – or in the event of an emergency, call 911.

 

Thank you for your cooperation during this prolonged storm – it has been greatly appreciated!
