Heat/Storm Notice Update #1
Heat Advisory until 9pm Tonight
Potential for Severe Weather this Afternoon  

Dear Resident,

We are under a heat advisory until 9pm this evening with afternoon highs in the low-mid 90’s and heat indices over 100 degrees in places.  Beginning at 4pm, there is the potential for severe storms to pass through our area bringing with it rain, intense thunderstorms, hail, flash flooding and even isolated tornados.  Storms can pop up with little notice.  Be sure to have a way to receiving warnings and to be in a safe building when a storm threatens. 

Please keep yourself cool and hydrated and limit outdoor activities when possible. 

Young children and infants, pregnant women, as well as older adults and those with chronic medical conditions are at higher risk of heat related illness. Please take extra precautions and review the websites below to learn how to recognize heat related illnesses. 

Please review FEMA’s Tornado Preparedness Guide HERE.  As always, make sure your preparedness kit and a family plan are in place.  Learn more https://www.ready.gov/plan

Do not leave children or pets alone in a car for even a minute.  A vehicle heats up quickly and a child’s body temperature rises faster than an adult’s.   Animals are at risk for brain damage or heatstroke in just 15 minutes and leaving a pet in a car unattended is illegal in New Jersey. We remind you to check the back seat every time you leave the vehicle. If you see a child or pet left unattended in a vehicle, dial 911 immediately.  

Please review the following websites for heat safety tips:

A reminder that Marlboro Water Utility customers are asked to conserve water and limit non-essential water use such as irrigation and cars washing until further notice.  NOTICE

The Marlboro Police are available 24/7 and can be reached at 732-536-0100.  For emergencies always dial 911.   Please take a moment to check in on your neighbors, especially those that are older or with disabilities. We will update you as necessary. 

Stay safe,

Mayor Jon Hornik
