TOWNSHIP OFFICIALS SHUTDOWN PARKS, URGE CAUTION

Mayor Vic De Luca said this is a time for the community to "come together" during a press conference this morning at town hall, in which he announced that De Hart Community Center is open as a shelter with cots and food and electric outlets to power up your electronic devices.

The mayor, police and fire chiefs also noted that all town parks are closed and urged residents not to park on the street. DPW chief Eric Burbank urged residents to stock up on water and not touch downed power lines, even if they do not look dangerous.

De Hart has a back-up generator, but not town hall.

The mayor plans another storm update at 4 p.m. today. Watch again on Comcast channel 35.
