A Message from the Manager Have you ever noticed that in every disaster movie there is always at least one character that knows exactly what to do in every situation? It seems he or she instinctively knows how to respond. These characters know to take shelter right before the world freezes over and what supplies they will need to survive. They know to jump into a bathtub moments before the house they are in explodes. They can keep safe and dry in a flood. They know how to clean and dress a flesh wound. They know what to eat when they are lost in the woods. And yes, even how to survive a zombie apocalypse! The characters are not soldiers, survivalists or trained emergency response personnel so how did they know what to do? Yes, I know they are just characters in a scripted movie but someone knew what the characters needed to do to survive. Did the script writers watch a disaster movie? Did they consult trained professionals? Did they put themselves into real life disasters? Lucky for us moviegoers there is no need to do any of that. The information is out there and readily available. The internet has so many great websites: FEMA, The American Red Cross and Ready.Gov to name a few that are dedicated to providing information on emergency situations. So many in fact that it

can become overwhelming. But let's face it. If you're like me you are not taking the time to search for how to survive a zombie apocalypse unless it's happening and then it's probably too late. So, the appropriate question may not be, "How do we know what to do in an emergency?" but rather "How do we learn what we need to know?" That answer is easy. Every emergency organization out there will tell us. We prepare!
A major responsibility of the Township Government and the Board of Commissioners is to protect the health, safety and welfare of all our residents. This is done in so many ways. By providing police, fire and ambulance service, plowing snow and enacting codes that protect us and our families. But, did you know that the Township is also a resource for information. A lot of residents call the municipal offices for information on trash pickup, permits and taxes. However, there are very few callers asking: "what should I do in case of an emergency?" But you can! We have trained professionals on staff who can provide the answers you need. Some of our residents have lived through a flood or a long power outages and know what to do. What about the rest of us? What do we do in situations where we have no experience? This newsletter is dedicated to providing the information we need to be prepared for an emergency situation. It doesn't cover every situation so we added links to websites and organizations that do. The Board of Commissioners hopes that this newsletter will help you answer YES to the question on the cover!

Senior Citizen Advisory Commission Mission Statement: To enhance and support the lives of senior residents of Marple by advising township officials about their concerns and interests, by creating a forum where they can meet and socialize and by offering programs and activities for their enjoyment.
News From The Marple Tree Commission The Marple Tree Commission began when some members of the Marple Environmental Advisory Board formed a sub-committee to address tree issues in town. Alarmed at the disappearance of tree canopy through loss of trees on both public and private property in the township, the committee focused on advising municipal officials on matters relating to the protection, conservation, and replanting of our "community forest." By March of 2007 efforts to earn certification for Marple as a Tree City, USA were underway and the committee began to participate in the TreeVitalize tree planting initiative of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. Now, 48 committee meetings later, 250 new trees in local parks, several annual public Arbor Day tree planting ceremonies, a dozen associate members and 129 volunteer tree caretakers have earned the original tree committee recognition by the Township. The Marple Commissioners voted to create an official Marple Tree Commission (MTC) in April of 2011. With renewed enthusiasm the members of the new tree commission and their allies continue to plant new trees in township parks and hope to soon begin a program to offer young trees to homeowners. Our goals are to continue to restore Marple's community forest through education of our residents about the importance of trees. We will offer lectures and classes for the public and host Arbor Day events. We also have a website featuring all kinds of information about trees and their care, plus access to help and advice from tree commission members. We will continue to establish and support tree protection provisions in the township code and encourage businesses to plant trees.
Established in 2011 to serve as an advisory board to the Board of Commissioners on senior related issues in the Township.. Seniors have a chance to have a VOICE with their local Government Officials.
The MTC consists of five members appointed by the Board of Commissioners for five year terms. In addition to the appointed members, there are numerous Associate Members who help to carry out the MTC Mission
The Senior Advisory Commission meets the 3rd Wednesday of each month, 1:00 PM at the Marple Township Building, 227 S. Sproul Road, Broomall, PA. All are welcome. For more information please contact the Township at 610-356-4040.

Police Department Receives Accredited Status
In April of 2012, the Marple Township Police Department began its quest to become an Accredited Police Agency. Most people would ask why, what does accreditation mean and what does it do for the police department or for the community? Let me begin by explaining what Accreditation is, according to the Pennsylvania Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission (PLEAC) manual. "Accreditation is the ongoing process whereby agencies evaluate policy and procedure against established criteria and have compliance with that criteria verified by an independent and authoritative body". The Marple Township Police Department has had policies and procedures since I was hired in 1979. These policies and procedures were reviewed occasionally and in 1998 the policy manual was completely rewritten to reflect accepted police practices as put forth by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP). We utilized the model policies from the IACP as the basis for our policy manual and we reviewed them annually making changes as necessary. I considered the Marple Township Police Department to be a professional police agency, following accepted police practices and training its officers accordingly. Every police officer hired by the Marple Township Police Department
has attended a state certified police academy, with a prescribed curriculum before becoming a sworn police officer. In addition, these same officers must attend an annual refresher to maintain their certification. Finally, most of our officers go far and above these mandated training classes, they attend many classes pertinent to their individual job responsibilities, on average attending 88 hours of training annually. Other than pointing to our training and policies and procedures how could we show that we indeed were a professional agency? Accreditation was the answer, compliance with a set of accepted standards as evaluated by an independent and authoritative body. In the late 1990's a report by the Governor's Alliance for Community and Law Enforcement Relations, to then Governor Tom Ridge made recommendations to improve community and law enforcement relations, among those recommendations was the creation of a State Accreditation Program for Police Departments. The Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association (PCPA) stepped up and utilizing models from other states, Virginia and New York among them, began the process of developing the standards required for accreditation. Today there are 138 standards by which we are measured in order to achieve accredited status through PLEAC. Knowing that these standards exist and that a professional police agency had a criteria to be measured by I appointed Officer Katie Connolly as our Accreditation Manager and tasked her with guiding the department through the process to become accredited. Officer Connolly, began the process by reaching out to other accredited agencies and learning as much as she could about
DECHRISTOPHER MEMORIALS
accreditation and the process. Beginning with the standards in hand, and our policy manual at her side, Officer Connolly reconfigured our policy manual to reflect the standards established by PLEAC. Once the policy manual was completed, the next step was to demonstrate our compliance with the standards. This is done by submitting proofs of compliance for each of the 138 standards. These proofs may be in the form of reports written by the police officers as indicated by the standards, logs indicating the checking and maintenance of our cells, our procedures for handling and storage of evidence, or how we document the transport and detaining of prisoners to name a few. In addition, we had to make some modifications to our facilities related to prisoner and evidence handling. Our current police facility is over 40 years old and began its life as a public library before being repurposed in 1975 as a police station. We had to make some adjustments to meet the standards, and at the same time try to keep the cost to a minimum since a new police station was on the horizon. With a little creativity and a few dollars we were able to make it work. The final step in the process is the assessment by a team of assessors contracted by the PCPA. These assessors are experienced law enforcement professionals who have been trained and require refresher training every 24 months to remain as assessors. The assessor's job is to conduct an onsite review of the department, its policies and procedures and to review all of the proofs of compliance and ensure that we have met the standards. Once it has been determined that all of the standards have been met, the assessors submit a formal written report to the Accreditation Commission with their recommendation.

Police Department Receives Accredited Status The Marple Township Police Department underwent its formal assessment on Monday February 22nd and Tuesday February 23rd. The assessment team was comprised of Deputy Chief Lee Benson from Upper Dublin PD, Lieutenant Mike McLaughlin from Upper Allen PD and Sergeant Karl Geschwindt from Emmaus PD. The team spent two days visiting our department, reviewing our proofs and observing our operation. Their report was submitted to PLEAC and on Wednesday March 30th, Officer Connolly, Lt. Frank Hannigan and I travelled to Harrisburg for the quarterly meeting of the Commission. Our assessment team report was presented and the
commission then voted on our accreditation. The vote of the commission was unanimous and the Marple Township Police Department became the 103rd police agency in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to achieve accredited status. The only other accredited police department in Delaware County is Springfield PD and less than 10% of all police departments in the Commonwealth are accredited. The Marple Township Police Department can now proudly state that we are a professional police agency and our accredited status gives credence to that fact. Thomas J. Murray, Jr., Chief of Police

Stormwater, Snow Melt, & Salt Alternatives Melting snow, just like rain, can carry pollutants into storm drains and streams. We can lessen stormwater pollution by making informed decisions during the snow and ice season. Spreading rock salt (sodium chloride) on roads and driveways reduces ice formation, allowing for safer travel for pedestrians and motorists. Too much salt, however, can corrode metal on cars, damage gardens and trees, and pollute our local streams. All landowners can be part of the solution by using alternative products or by using salt at recommended times and rates. Help keep our water clean and protect the environment by following these tips: Shovel snow into vegetated areas; never dump it into streets or streams. The more water can be absorbed by plants or sink into the ground, the less water will run off, carrying pollutants into streams. Use safe and effective alternatives to salt for ice, and follow the application rate on the label. Safety is of utmost importance, but salt is damaging to plants, animals, concrete and water quality. Salt Alternatives Sand, clean kitty litter, and used coffee grounds - These products provide great traction. Sand can easily be swept up and disposed of afterwards, but kitty litter often creates mushy clumps. These products will absorb sunlight, contributing to melting and will not harm nearby plants and soil. Ashes - For those with a wood burning fireplace, ashes are a great option. They provide a lot of traction and absorb sunlight, so will melt ice quickly on a sunny day. And they're free!
Beet juice - Increasingly being used by highway departments on its own or mixed with salt, this safe and natural product allows ice to melt even when air temperatures are extremely cold.
not work well at lower temperatures. All chloride products contribute to pollutant loads in our streams and their use should be minimized.
Potassium acetate, calcium magnesium acetate - Acetates are super-effective even at extremely low temperatures and are biodegradable. The drawback? Price. They cost several times as much as rock salt and can be difficult to find. This is a good solution for small areas in environmentally sensitive locations, such as floodplains.
If rock salt is the only reasonable alternative for your property, remember: Remove as much ice and snow off paved surfaces as you can before applying salt to speed up melting
Other "chlorides": calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, potassium chloride - Rock salt (sodium chloride) is not the only chloride product that can melt ice. These other products are generally more expensive than rock salt, but work better at low temperatures. Calcium chloride is the preferred choice over magnesium chloride, as it works at lower temperatures and is applied at a lower rate, leading to less chloride in our streams. Potassium chloride is considered safest for pets and plants, but is often more expensive and does
A little salt can go a long way: Rock salt should be applied at about a handful per square yard Calcium chloride should be spread even thinner, about a handful for 3 square yards. The air temperature matters. Rock salt is five times more effective at o o melting ice at 30 F than 20 F, and ineffective below 20oF. Calcium chloride is better for temperatures o down to 0 F. Applying early can prevent ice crystals from forming and minimize the amount of salt used overall.

Winter Road Maintenance Snow Emergency
With winter just around the corner, here is some important information regarding the Township's Winter Road Maintenance and Snow Plowing Policies: The Public Works Department, in advance of a forecasted snow event, will pre-treat all Township roads with an anti-icing/ deicing salt brine solution. Plowing typically begins when at least two inches of sn ow can be measured on the road. The Township plow crew's goal is to keep a single lane of traffic open on every road in the Township, if possible, by making multiple passes on each road during the snow storm. Some primary or connector roads such as, Highland Avenue, New Ardmore Ave, Reed Rd, Crum Creek Roa d, Lovell Ave, Malin Road and all Snow Emergency Routes are given p ri or it y to allow for the passage of emergency vehicles and general traffic. Once the snow has stopped their goal is to have all Township roads and cul-de-sacs c l e a r e d curb to curb within 18-24 hours. PennDot is responsible for plowing all State Roads including West Chester Pike, Lawrence Road and Sproul Road. If you have to travel during a snowstorm, please drive carefully and keep alert for other vehicles, pedestrians and snow plows!
In order to facilitate the movement of traffic and allow Township snow plows to effectively travel and clear streets, the Township Manager will declare a Snow Emergency whenever snowfall is predicted to exceed three (3) inches. Residents will be notified through the Township's Code Red Notification Sys tem when a Snow Emergency is declared. During a snow emergency, parking is prohibited on all roads designated as snow emergency routes including all culde-sacs. Vehicles are also prohibited from hanging over onto roads from driveways during & after a snow storm in order to allow plow crews to clear a passage.
Snow Emergency Routes The following streets/highways have been designated as snow emergency streets/highways within the Township of Marple, including all cul-de-sac and dead-end streets: Anthony Avenue ......................Atwater Road Beechtree Drive...................Cambridge Road Candlewood Road ..............Canterbury Drive Central Boulevard (North and South) Cherry Hill Lane .................Crum Creek Road Davis Avenue ...........................Gilbert Street Gradyville Road....................Harding Avenue Hastings Boulevard.............Highland Avenue James Road.........................Jamestown Road Kent Road ...............................Langford Road Langstoon Lane .......................Lovell Avenue Malin Road (North and South) Marpit Road ...................Marplewoods Drive Martins Run Road..........Meadowbrook Lane Morton Avenue New Ardmore Avenue (North and South) Old Cedar Grove Road............Parkview Road Pennview Avenue.....................Red Hill Drive Reed Road ................................Rockhill Road
Springhouse Road ..............Sussex Boulevard Sylvan Drive...........................Trout Run Road Warren Boulevard...........Williamsburg Drive Worthington Drive
Shoveling Do not clear sidewalks until plowing equipment HAS PASSED, or your hard work may be for nothing! Township crews are not permitted to plow your driveway entrance. Throwing, shoveling or plowing snow from sidewalks or driveways into the street is strictly prohibited. All sidewalks must be cleared within 12 hours after snow stops falling. If more than 12 inches of snow falls, the time limit is extended to 48 hours. Driveways and Parking Lots - Dumping snow or ice onto Township property or streets, or plowing snow across a street is strictly prohibited. This offense is punishable by civil action, with a fine of up to $600.00. Finally, please be patient! Our plow crews work tirelessly through a snow storm to ensure that our roads are clear and safe. We will get to your street. If you observe an unsafe condition on any roadway or sidewalk, please call the Township. As always, if you have an emergency, please dial 911 immediately. Lend a Fire Hydrant a helping shovel! If you have a fire hydrant in front of or near your house, lend a helping shovel and keep the hydrant clear of snow. The Township, the Broomall Fire Company, your neighbors and the hydrant thank you.

Prepare Your Home For Winter Your ability to feel a change in temperature decreases with age. Older people are more susceptible to health problems caused by cold. If you are over 65 years old, place an easy-to-read thermometer in an indoor location where you will see it frequently. Check the temperature of your home often during the winter months.
Although periods of extreme cold cannot always be predicted far in advance, weather forecasts can sometimes provide you with several days' notice. Listen to weather forecasts regularly and check your emergency supplies whenever a period of extreme cold is predicted. If you plan to use a fireplace or wood stove for emergency heating, have your chimney or flue inspected each year. Contact the Township for information on inspection companies or find one in the yellow pages of your telephone directory under "chimney cleaning." Also, if you'll be using a fireplace, wood stove, or kerosene heater, install a smoke detector and a battery-operated carbon monoxide detector near the area to be heated. Test them monthly and replace batteries twice a year. All fuel-burning equipment should be vented to the outside.
Insulate any water lines that run along exterior walls so your water supply will be less likely to freeze. To the extent possible, weatherproof your home by adding weather-stripping, insulation, insulated doors, and storm windows or thermal-pane windows. If you have pets, bring them indoors. If you cannot bring them inside, provide adequate shelter to keep them warm and make sure they have access to unfrozen water. Checklist Insulate walls and attic. Caulk and weather-strip doors and windows. Install storm windows or cover windows with plastic from the inside. Insulate any water lines that run along outer walls. This will make water less likely to freeze. Service snow-removal equipment. Have chimney and flue inspected. Install easy-to-read outdoor thermometer.
Repair roof leaks and cut away tree branches that could fall on your home or other structure during a storm. During a Storm Cold temperatures often accompany a winter storm, so you may have to cope with power failures and icy roads. Follow these important steps to protect yourself and your family. Although staying indoors as much as possible can help reduce the risk of car crashes and falls on the ice, you may also face indoor hazards. Many homes will be too coldeither due to a power failure or because the heating system isn't adequate for the weather. When people must use space heaters and fireplaces to stay warm, the risk of household fires increases, as well as the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Find out what you can do to protect yourself and your family. Indoor Safety (http://www.cdc.gov/disasters/winter/ duringstorm/indoorsafety.html) Although staying indoors as much as possible can help reduce the risk of car crashes and falls on the ice, you may also face indoor hazards.

Sheltering In Place What "sheltering in place" means Some kinds of chemical accidents or attacks may make going outdoors dangerous. Leaving the area might take too long or put you in harm's way. In such a case it may be safer for you to stay indoors than to go outside.
place room. If you do not have bottled water, or if you run out, you can drink water from a toilet tank (not from a toilet bowl). Do not drink water from the tap. Duct tape and scissors. Towels and plastic sheeting. You may wish to cut your plastic sheeting to fit your windows and doors before any emergency occurs.
How to know if you need to shelter in place Most likely you will only need to shelter for a few hours.
(Photo: WGRZ)
"Shelter in place" means to make a shelter out of the place you are in. It is a way for you to make the building as safe as possible to protect yourself until help arrives. You should not try to shelter in a vehicle unless you have no other choice. Vehicles are not airtight enough to give you adequate protection from chemicals.
If there is a "code red" or "severe" terror alert, you should pay attention to radio and television broadcasts to know right away whether a shelter-in-place alert is announced for your area.
First aid kit Flashlight, battery-powered radio, and extra batteries for both A working telephone Food and bottled water. Store 1 gallon of water per person in plastic bottles as well as ready-to-eat foods that will keep without refrigeration in the shelter-in-
Tape plastic over any windows in the room. Use duct tape around the windows and doors and make an unbroken seal. Use the tape over any vents into the room and seal any electrical outlets or other openings. If you are away from your shelter-in-place location when a chemical event occurs, follow the instructions of emergency coordinators to find the nearest shelter. If your children are at school, they will be sheltered there. Unless you are instructed to do so, do not try to get to the school to bring your children home. Transporting them from the school will put them, and you, at increased risk.
When you leave the shelter, follow instructions from local emergency coordinators to avoid any contaminants outside. After you come out of the shelter, emergency coordinators may have additional instructions on how to make the rest of the building safe again.
How to prepare to shelter in place
You might not be at home if the need to shelter in place ever arises, but if you are at home, the following items, many of which you may already have, would be good to have in your shelter room:
Sink and toilet drain traps should have water in them (you can use the sink and toilet as you normally would). If it is necessary to drink water, drink stored water, not water from the tap.
Listen to the radio for an announcement indicating that it is safe to leave the shelter.
Every emergency is different and during any emergency people may have to evacuate or to shelter in place depending on where they live. Choose a room in your house or apartment for the shelter. The best room to use for the shelter is a room with as few windows and doors as possible. A large room with a water supply is bestsomething like a master bedroom that is connected to a bathroom. For most chemical events, this room should be as high in the structure as possible to avoid vapors (gases) that sink. This guideline is different from the sheltering-in-place technique used in tornadoes and other severe weather and for nuclear or radiological events, when the shelter should be low in the home.
Turn on the radio. Keep a telephone close at hand, but don't use it unless there is a serious emergency.
You will hear from the local police, emergency coordinators, or government on the radio and on television emergency broadcast system if you need to shelter in place.
What to do Act quickly and follow the instructions of your local emergency coordinators such as law enforcement personnel, fire departments, or local elected leaders. Every situation can be different, so local emergency coordinators might have special instructions for you to follow. In general, do the following: Go inside as quickly as possible. Bring any outdoor pets indoors. If there is time, shut and lock all outside doors and windows. Locking them may pull the door or window tighter and make a better seal against the chemical. Turn off the air conditioner or heater. Turn off all fans, too. Close the fireplace damper and any other place that air can come in from outside. Go in the shelter-in-place room and shut the door.
How you can get more information about sheltering in place You can contact one of the following: State and local health departments Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Public Response Hotline (CDC) 800-CDC-INFO 888-232-6348 (TTY) E-mail inquiries: cdcinfo@cdc.gov
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) protects people's health and safety by preventing and controlling diseases and injuries; enhances health decisions by providing credible information on critical health issues; and promotes healthy living through strong partnerships with local, national, and international organizations.

Stay Safe During A Power Outage Before a storm hits or an outage occurs, it's good to be prepared... Keep PECO's emergency telephone number, 1-800-841-4141, handy with other emergency numbers near the telephone. Have at least one standard non-cordless telephone or a cellular phone available to make calls.
possible. Remember, call volume can become very busy during storms and the automated, interactive system allows the company to accept thousands of calls at a time and get your information to the right people faster. When more customers call, we can better manage our response efforts. Outages can also be reported online. Be sure to request a customer service
Have a flashlight with fresh batteries on each floor of your home. Avoid using candles; a battery-operated lantern would be a better bet. If using candles, never leave them unattended. Have a battery-powered clock.
Have sensitive electronic appliances, like microwave ovens, televisions and computers, protected with a voltage surge suppressor. The suppressor can eliminate the surge from lightning, fallen poles or other accidents before the surge can enter equipment and protects valuables from damage. If appliances are not protected, unplug them before a storm.
Turn off all appliances including your furnace, water heater and water pump. representative if you can describe damage that has occurred, such as a downed pole or wires, etc.
Check with the neighbors to see if their power is out.
Once the cause of the outage is known, PECO will do our best to provide you with updates on power restoration and when you can expect service to be restored. In most cases, outages are restored in less

Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. Resist the urge to frequently check on foods. Move meats, cheese, milk etc. into the freezer compartment since it will stay colder longer. If the freezer is partially full, it can keep meat frozen for up to 24 hours and up to 48 hours when full. Fill the freezer and refrigerator with bottles filled with water to occupy more space. Wrap the refrigerator/freezer in a blanket to keep it insulated and preserve foods longer.

Turn off and unplug most appliances to prevent an electrical overload when power is restored, and keep a couple of lights on so you'll know when service is back.
Dry ice, available at some retail stores, can be used to preserve frozen foods for longer than 24 hours but presents safety concerns. Dry ice is hazardous material and must be handled with care because it can cause severe burns. Food that directly touches dry ice can get freezer burns. Dry ice should not be used in a smaller cooler with food or medicines that are needed and could become frozen.
Have a supply of bottled water and easyto-prepare, non-perishable foods available for extended outages. Make sure you have enough water for drinking and cooking.
Check the fuse or circuit breaker box to see if a fuse tripped inside the home.

Stay Safe During A Power Outage At night, cover your windows with drapes or blankets to minimize heat loss. If you have a fireplace, never use gasoline or other flammable liquids to start or quicken a fire. Always keep a screen around an open flame, and don't close the damper while ashes are still hot. Never use a gas range for room heating. This can be dangerous. Seek shelter at a warming center like the Township Municipal Building, friend or family if home temperatures fall too low.
Never use a generator indoors or in an attached garage. Just like your automobile, a portable generator uses an internal combustion engine that emits deadly carbon monoxide. Be sure to place the generator where exhaust fumes will not enter the house. Only operate it outdoors in a well-ventilated, dry area, away from air intakes to the home, and protected from direct exposure to rain and snow, preferably under a canopy, open shed or carport.
Overloading your generator can seriously damage your valuable appliances and electronics. Use the proper power cords. Plug individual appliances into the generator using heavy-duty, outdoor-rated cords with a wire gauge adequate for the appliance load. Overloaded cords can cause fires or equipment damage. Don't use extension cords with exposed wires or worn shielding. Read and adhere to the manufacturer's instructions for safe operation. Don't cut corners when it comes to safety. Carefully read and observe all instructions in your portable electric generator's owner manual.
Wear extra layers of clothing and a hat to prevent the loss of body heat.
Safe use of generators... Don't connect your generator directly to your home's wiring. Connecting a portable electric generator directly to your household wiring can be deadly to you and others. A generator that is directly connected to your home's wiring can "backfeed" onto the power lines connected to your home. Utility transformers can then "step-up" or increase this backfeed to thousands of volts - enough to kill a utility lineman making outage repairs a long way from your house.
Turn off all equipment powered by the generator before shutting down your generator.
When power is restored... Never plug a portable electric generator into a regular household outlet. Plugging a generator into a regular household outlet can energize "dead" power lines and injure neighbors or utility workers.
Wait a few minutes and plug appliances back in one at a time. Make a list of items you wish you had and restock for the next emergency.
Don't overload the generator. Do not operate more appliances and equipment than the output rating of the generator.

Hurricane Preparedness Hurricanes don't only affect people living along the coast. They can still cause damage even if you live hundreds of miles from the shore. If you're in an area where hurricanes are a risk, you need a plan.
Emergency preparedness plan checklist. Be Ready Even if there's no risk of a hurricane right now, make sure you, and your family, are prepared. Stock up on emergency supplies for your home and car. Wondering what supplies to buy before a hurricane? Check out www.cdc.gov/disasters/hurricanes/supplies for a complete checklist of everything you'll need. Write down emergency phone numbers and keep them near every phone in your house or on the refrigerator. Program them into your cell phone, too. Buy a fire extinguisher and make sure your family knows where to find it and how to use it. Read the National Fire Protection Association's tips for using fire extinguishers. Find out where the nearest shelter is and the different routes you can take to get there if you have to leave your home. Make sure that everyone in your family knows what the warning sirens in your area sound like and what to do if they go off.
Get Your Family, Home, and Car Ready
Listen for disaster sirens and warning signals. Pack important documents (like wills or passports) with you. Call the hospital, public health department, or the police about special needs. If you or a loved one is older or disabled and won't be able to leave quickly, get advice on what to do.
You may also hear an order to stay at home. Sometimes, staying at home is safer than leaving.
Take care of your animals. Pets are more than often overlooked. Put pets and farm animals in a safe place. Keep in mind emergency shelters and many hotels may not let you bring animals with you if you need to evacuate. Ask your local public health department if pets are allowed in shelters.
Make sure you have your car emergency kit.
Get Your Home Ready Clear your yard. Make sure there's nothing that could blow around during the storm and damage your home. Move bikes, lawn furniture, grills, propane tanks, and building material inside or under shelter.
If a hurricane might be headed toward you, you need to prepare. Listen for National Weather Service alerts on TV or radio or check for them online. There are two kinds of alerts.
Cover up windows and doors outside. Use storm shutters or nail pieces of plywood to the window frames to protect your windows. This can help keep you safe from pieces of shattered glass.
A hurricane watch means that there's no hurricane yet, but weather conditions could cause one. Experts will announce a hurricane watch 48 hours before they think dangerous winds will start.
Be ready to turn off your power. If you see flooding, downed power lines, or you have to leave your home, switch it off.
A hurricane warning is more serious. It means a hurricane has already started or is just about to start. For more information about hurricane watches and warnings, check out the National Weather Service's Hurricane Center. If you hear that there's a hurricane watch or warning in your area, take steps to get ready. Get Your Family Ready Go over your emergency plan with your family. Make sure you have the supplies you need. Keep checking for updates about the storm. Watch TV, listen to the radio, or check online.

ignore an order to evacuate. Even sturdy, well-built houses may not hold up against a hurricane. Staying home to protect your property is not worth risking your health and safety.
Fill clean water containers with drinking water in case you lose your water supply during the storm. You can also fill up your sinks and bathtubs with water for washing. Lower the thermostat in your refrigerator and freezer to the coolest possible temperature. If your power goes out, your food will stay fresh longer. Get Your Car Ready Fill your car's gas tank. You may also want to consider making plans with friends or family to get a ride. Check your car's emergency kit. Move cars and trucks into your garage or under cover. If a hurricane is coming, you may hear an order to evacuate (leave your home). Never
If You Need to Evacuate Only take what you really need with you, like your cell phone, medicines, identification (like a passport or license), and cash.
If you have time, turn off the gas, electricity, and water. Also unplug your appliances. Follow the roads that emergency workers recommend even if there's traffic. Other routes might be blocked. If You Need to Stay Home: Keep listening to the radio or TV for updates on the hurricane. Stay inside. Even if it looks calm, don't go outside. Wait until you hear or see an official message that the hurricane is over. Sometimes, weather gets calm in the middle of a storm but then gets worse again quickly. Stay away from windows. You could get hurt by pieces of broken glass during a storm. Stay in a room with no windows, or go inside a closet. You can even protect yourself by getting in a bathtub and covering it with a sheet of plywood. Be careful. Winds can blow debris - like pieces of broken glass and other objects - at high speeds. Flying debris is the most common cause of injury during a hurricane. You're also at a higher risk of breaking a bone or cutting yourself on loose nails, metal, or other objects. Be ready to leave. If emergency authorities order you to leave or if your home is damaged, you may need to go to a shelter or a neighbor's house.

When the Waters Rise, Will You Know What to Do? Put Rainwater to Work for You Harvesting rainwater is a simple way to make your household green and help your gardens prosper. Using rainwater instead of the tap to water your gardens will cut your water bill. It also keeps water from running off of your property and carrying pollutants into our streams. The two most common ways to put rainwater to work for you are rain barrels and rain gardens:
Floods are one of the most common weather hazards in the United States. They can happen anywhere at any time of year.
What is a Flash Flood?
Densely populated areas have a higher risk for flash floods than rural areas.
Flash floods can occur within minutes or hours of a heavy rainfall, and waters can rise as high as 30 feet or more. Even small streams and creeks can flood rapidly and cause damage. Flash floods are usually caused by slow-moving thunderstorms. According to the National Weather Service, "Flash floods are short-term events occurring within six hours of the causative event (heavy rain, dam break, levee failure, rapid snowmelt and ice jams) and often within two hours of the start of highintensity rainfall." Flash floods can move homes and cars, uproot trees and destroy bridges. Because floods happen with little to no warning, residents in low-lying areas are particularly at risk. According to the American Red Cross, flash floods are the No. 1 weatherrelated killer in the U.S. Almost half of all flash flood fatalities are vehicle related, according to the National Weather Service. If you're driving and approach a water-covered
road, turn around. Just 6 inches of water can stall a vehicle, and 2 feet can float most cars, trucks and SUVs. Here are some other tips to stay high and dry: Know your proximity to rivers, streams and dams During heavy rain, avoid underpasses, underground parking garages and basements Avoid hiking or camping if thunderstorms are predicted
A rain barrel collects water from your roof and stores it for future use. You can connect a hose to the barrel or use it to fill watering cans. Rain barrels are available commercially at home improvement stores or you can build a do-it-yourself rain barrel at little cost; see www.diynetwork.com/howto/how-to-create-a-rain-barrel for simple instructions. Most barrels hold 55 gallons of water and will fill quickly during a storm. Make sure to include an
A rain garden is a collection of water-loving plants in a slight depression in the ground. Running a downspout towards a sunken garden will capture rainwater and allow it to slowly sink into the ground over the next day. Rain gardens should be located at least 10 feet away from your foundation. Their size varies based on how much roof area is draining to the garden. Resources on building your rain garden can be found many places online, including www.raingardensforthebays.org and www.stormwaterpa.org/ raingarden. Pick the right spot on your property, create a design using your favorite plants, and start using rainwater to beautify your yard. This rain barrel at the Media Community Center was painted to provide a splash of color. Rain barrels are available in many colors and can be painted to match any home.
Develop an evacuation plan for your family Don't walk in water above your ankles; you can be swept off your feet in as little as 6 inches of rushing water Turn off the electricity and other utilities During heavy rain, Township storm sewers can become blocked with debris causing flooding in the street. In preparation of any rain event, Township crews do attempt to clean storm inlets to make sure they are able to collect water from the street. If you notice debris on top of a storm inlet before or after a storm, contact the Township immediately. If your roadway becomes flooded during a storm, call 911 immediately so emergency personnel can respond to close the road to traffic.

The Chanticleer estate dates from the early 20thcentury, when land along the Main Line of the Pennsylvania Railroad was developed for summer homes to escape the heat of Philadelphia. Adolph Rosengarten, Sr., and his wife Christine chose the Wayne-St. Davids area to build their country retreat. The family's pharmaceutical firm would become part of Merck & Company in the 1920s. The Rosengartens hired architect and former classmate Charles L. Borie to design the house, which was completed in 1913. Landscape architect Thomas Sears designed the terraces as extensions of the house. A 1924 addition converted the summer home into a year-round residence and the family moved here permanently. Mr. Rosengarten's humor is evident in naming his home after the estate "Chanticlere" in Thackeray's 1855 novel The Newcomes. The fictional Chanticlere was "mortgaged up to the very castle
windows" but "still the show of the county." Playing on the word, which is synonymous with "rooster," the Rosengartens used rooster motif s throughout the estate. Adolph and Christine gave their two children homes as wedding presents. They pur chased a neighboring property for son Adolph, Jr . and his bride Janet Newlin in 1933. It is now the site of the Ruin. Daughter Emily's house, located at today's visitor entrance, was built for her in 1935. It is presently used for offices and classr ooms.
of Directors, six of whom are Rosengarten relatives, oversees The Chanticleer Foundation. The garden opened to the public in 1993. There are 19 full-time staff, of whom two manage facilities and 13 are gardeners and groundskeepers.
Adolph, Jr., bought his sister's portion of the estate following her death in the 1980s. He didn't move into the main house, but used it for entertaining and kept it as it was when the family lived there. The house is open for tours by reservation. Adolph, Jr., left the entire property for the enjoyment and education of the public following his death in 1990. A nine member Board
