With the potential for heavy rainfall over the next several days, 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐉.𝐏. 𝐇𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐲 would like to remind residents to take time now to prepare their property and do their part to help prevent flooding issues.

Please ensure that drains around your property are free of debris to allow water to flow properly. While there is no definite forecast regarding the amount of rainfall we may receive, residents should remain alert and prepared for changing weather conditions.

As we know from past weather events, street flooding can occur quickly and may require Town officials to close roadways for public safety. If you encounter a street that has been barricaded, 𝐃𝐎 𝐍𝐎𝐓 drive around the barricade even if you live on that street. 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐛𝐲𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐛𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

Additionally, motorists are reminded to use extreme caution when driving through areas with standing water. Anyone observed operating a vehicle at excessive speeds or driving recklessly through flooded streets may be issued a citation and/or face arrest when appropriate.

These precautions are in place to protect lives, property, and emergency responders. We appreciate everyone's cooperation and patience as we monitor weather conditions and work together to keep our community safe.

Stay informed, stay prepared, and stay safe.
