Information per the Police Department

If you experience power outages, they need to be reported and logged with PSE&G. While they will not be responding during the worst of the storm, it is still important that they be reported and logged. In the event that you experience prolonged outages, downed wires or uprooted trees that take out utilities, please report them to:
1-800-436-PSEG 
Obviously, under ermegency circumstances call 9-1-1.
Please keep your cell phones charged and if your experience flooding, use plastic bags to keep your communication devices dry and functioning.  Try to keep your use of these communications devices to a minimum so that they stay charged and available to you should you have an emergency.  Turn off all your bluetooth controls and wifi settings if possible which will also assist in keeping them charged longer should power be out for extended time frames.
The Borough of Mount Ephraim Emergency Management personnel are here, staffed and prepared to handle this and we are with you friends.  Again, we can't say enough, that it is important that you make clear and responsible decisions regarding the safety of your families.  Stay indoors and away from windows if possible.  Stay away from downed wires, standing water and flooding zones and stay off the roads as much as possible.
