Storm Preparation Tips The PA Utility Commission (PUC) encourages residents to consider the following tips before a storm strikes: Know Your Utility Hotlines... - Write down, print or save toll-free outage hotlines for your electric utility and/or your natural gas utility, which are listed on your monthly bills and posted on the PUC website. Save Utility Website Address - Your utility’s outage reporting system can provide updates on repair and restoration efforts. Bookmark these electric utility outage sites and natural gas company websites. Keep Your Cell Phone Charged A well-charged phone will keep you in contact with your utility, other emergency services and family members during any power outage. Secure Supplies

Notice for Public Comment The New Florence Borough and Volunteer Fire Department are working together to fund a project to renovate and equip the Fire Hall as an Emergency Shelter in case of a disaster. This funding will cover the cost of power upgrades, a new HVAC system, new sidewalks, doors and ramp to the Social Hall, new roof, storm shutters, and restroom reconfiguring to include an ADA shower. The money for this project will hopefully come through a grant request to the Emergency Solutions Grants Program which is part of the Cares Act funding to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The requested amount to fully fund this project is $128,650. Working together to strengthen our community benefits us all! If you have any comment about this project, please contact us by email at [email protected] Posted 19 May 2021.
