Foxianna Road Bridge Update (11/10/11)

At the Nov. 7th Board of Supervisors meeting Andrew Kenworthy, Township Engineer, reported that the hydrolic analysis, design and permitting are currently being worked on. Costs are being tracked in the hopes that FEMA will reimburse the township for expenses in relation to Tropical Storm Lee. It is anticipated that design will be completed and the project put out to bid this fall. Construction would commence immediately thereafter absent any construction delays due to weather or right of way issues. Construction will take a few weeks and will be weather dependent at this time of year. Hopefully residents will be able to use the bridge by the end of this year or the beginning of next.

PEMA Marks Winter Weather Awareness Week

Urges Public Readiness

Harrisburg –The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) and the National Weather Service are encouraging Pennsylvanians to prepare for winter storms during Winter Weather Awareness Week, which runs through Nov. 12.

“We’ve already had one significant snowstorm that caused lengthy power outages and travel problems, so now is the ideal time to prepare for the next one,” said PEMA Director Glenn Cannon.

Cannon urged residents to assemble a home emergency kit specific to their families’ needs, and be sure to have enough supplies on hand to survive in their home for at least three days without outside assistance:

· Bottled water (each person in your family needs at least one gallon every day for drinking and bathing).

· At least a three-day supply of foods that won't spoil.

· Battery-powered radio and extra batteries.

· Flashlight and extra batteries.

· First aid kit.

· Medication and copies of prescriptions.

· Specialized supplies for children, infants and pets.

Cannon also said motorists should always:

· Check the weather forecast for the entire route of your trip and change travel plans if severe weather is expected.

· Make sure someone knows your arrival times and routes.

· Keep your vehicle’s gas tank full during the winter season.

· When possible, travel during daylight and do not travel alone.

· Keep a windshield scraper and small broom for ice and snow removal.

· Wear a coat or keep it in the car in the event you become stranded.

· Keep an emergency kit inside all vehicles that includes: flashlight with extra batteries, first aid kit with pocket knife, necessary medications, several blankets, matches, extra set of mittens, socks, and a wool cap, small shovel, small tools (pliers, wrench, screwdriver), and a brightly colored cloth to use as a distress flag.

· Store a supply of high-energy snacks and several bottles of water.

During Winter Weather Awareness Week, the National Weather Service will share daily messages about preparedness. Find more information online at www.erh.noaa.gov/ctp/safety/WinterWeek/2011/index.php.

The state’s ReadyPA initiative encourages residents to take three basic steps before any natural disaster or emergency: Be Informed; Be Prepared; Be Involved.

Residents should be informed about the types of disasters that could occur in their communities, such as floods, major traffic problems or potential fire hazards.

Individuals should be prepared with emergency kits for their home, car and work, as well as having a communication plan for their families. In addition to the basics such as non-perishable foods and water, emergency supplies should include medications and any special needs for infants and pets.

Residents are encouraged to be involved by volunteering in their communities to help others during emergencies.

For more information, visit www.ReadyPA.org or call 1-888-9-READY-PA.

Thank you to all the volunteers who have been coming out to help those affected by the flooding!

American Red Cross Emergency Response Vehicles to canvass affected areas, deliver hot meals

American Red Cross emergency response vehicles (ERVs) are being mobilized to affected neighborhoods in Cumberland, Dauphin, Perry, Lancaster, and Lebanon, Snyder, Union, Northumberland and York Counties.

A half-dozen ERVS will be loaded up with hot meals and volunteer crews will deliver approximately 1000 lunches and dinners starting at lunchtime Wednesday, September 14. In addition to the meals the teams will be offering emotional support and information to those beginning the clean-up process following last week’s sorms and resulting flooding.

In addition to this effort, the Red Cross has also been operating shelters for those displaced by the flood. The Red Cross has shelters open as long as needed in Harrisburg, Middletown and Lebanon, as well as distribution of clean-up kits and health and mental health support to those affected by the flood.

You can help people affected by disasters like the flooding here in our area, as well as countless crises at home and around the world, by making a donation to support American Red Cross Disaster Relief. Your gift enables the Red Cross to prepare for and provide shelter, food, emotional support and other assistance in response to disasters. Visit www.redcross.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS. Contributions may also be sent to your local American Red Cross chapter or to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, DC 20013.

About the American Red Cross:

The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies nearly half of the nation's blood; teaches lifesaving skills; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a charitable organization — not a government agency — and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

Londonderry Township Special Fire Police (“LTSFP”) are volunteers, members of the Londonderry Township fire company, who provide essential traffic and crowd control at fires, emergencies, and other events in our communities.

These community services have provided protection to emergency responders and the public that otherwise might not have been available due to understaffing or thinly stretched State Police and local municipal police forces. Volunteers learn, in the classroom, how to respond in emergencies to protect the fire fighters and equipment by safely controlling traffic and crowds. We are taught about Haz-mat recognition and identification as well as information about the National Incident Management System. Training is essential and on-going with many classes available each year. After proper training, the LTSFP officer is sworn in as a police officer, but has limited powers. He/she is then allowed on the street for on-the-job training and evaluation.

We meet the 2nd Monday of each month, 7 pm at the firehouse. Stop in and join us!
