Bridgeton Emergency Management – 3.16 Storm Update

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIAL POST 

Good morning. As we all know, the storm last night was terrible, and there are lots of trees down and power outages that will take a long time to get fixed. 

It is very important that you don’t approach downed wires at all.  They can look like they are off, but they might not be. Simply stepping too close to a high voltage wire can create a path for a deadly amount of electricity to go up your front leg and down your back leg. 

We don’t have a clear count of  the location of all road closures, but there are many, including sections of River Road in Nockamixon Township (from Narrows Hill Road to at least Rt. 611).  Bridgeton Hill Road remains open. 

The Upper Black Eddy Fire Company has set up a “workshare” space of sorts for people who need power, fast internet and a relatively quiet place to work today. They are suggesting a donation of $20 for the day. 

We are asking for replies to this message, with photos and (very important) locations of any roads blocked by trees, or any other storm-related damage to structures and other property.  If you prefer, you can email photos with damage information to EMC@bridgetontwp.org or text them to 610-440-3316. 

Thank you to the community for being the eyes and ears of Emergency Management for Bridgeton Township
