Radnor Offering Free Parking for Residents in Flood Prone Areas

Radnor Township is advising that residents take "all applicable precautions" for the imminent storm.

 

The following information comes from Radnor Township:

Radnor Township residents should take all applicable precautions: check sump pumps, battery backups, have working flash lights on hand, check backup generators, and have battery powered radios in the event power outages occur. Residents are asked to remove leaf piles away from the street so sewer drain openings do not get blocked.

You should stock your home with supplies that may be needed during the emergency period. At a minimum, these supplies should include:

• Several clean containers for water, large enough for a 3-5 day supply of water (about five gallons for each person).
• A 3-5 day supply of non-perishable food.
• A first aid kit and manual.
• A battery-powered radio, flashlights, and extra batteries.
• Sleeping bags or extra blankets.
• Water-purifying supplies, such as chlorine or iodine tablets or unscented, ordinary household chlorine bleach.
• Prescription medicines and special medical needs.
• Baby food and/or prepared formula, diapers, and other baby supplies.
• Disposable cleaning cloths, such as "baby wipes" for the whole family to use in case bathing facilities are not available.
• Personal hygiene supplies, such as soap, toothpaste, sanitary napkins, etc.
• An emergency kit for your car with food, flares, booster cables, maps, tools, a first aid kit, fire extinguisher, sleeping bags, etc.

Starting Sunday evening and lasting through Wednesday, residents in flood prone areas will be able to park their vehicles, free of charge, at the Township’s municipal lot on North Wayne Avenue. Please use the spaces nearest Station Road.
