Will Mr. Vito like anything other than a peanut butter & jelly sandwich? Watch and see!

CRANFORD OEM UPDATE: click on the link for the full report with graphs
**After Action Report**
All roadways have been reopened, and a preliminary damage assessment shows no power outages, limited tree damage, and no other damage to public property. Some residents reported seepage in their basements, which they will address with their insurance carriers and garbage haulers; however, widespread damage from this weather event has not been reported. In our after-action review of this event, the most impacted areas were consistent with prior storms and the Township’s flash flood maps.

**What Residents Should Do**

Residents are encouraged to help the Township by clearing any debris from catch basins near their homes. With more rain projected this week, staying weather-aware is essential.

Residents who experienced damage to their property should begin the process of contacting their insurance carrier and garbage hauler to safely remove any damaged property. In the past, Federal disaster declarations were key to the removal of widespread debris from our community. As there has not been a disaster declaration for our area, no debris should be placed curbside without a private removal plan by the homeowner.

Individuals living in flood-prone areas should take common-sense precautions and monitor conditions for potential flooding. It is advisable to have multiple ways to receive weather warnings, as the National Weather Service will issue Flood Warnings if necessary. All NWS warnings affecting Cranford will be automatically rebroadcast via NIXLE through email and social media (Facebook and Twitter), and they will be available on various weather apps and local news sources. NIXLE text messaging will be used in life-threatening situations.
Residents should report any non-emergency utility problems directly at the contact points below.
