ReadyMontco - Montgomery Township Alert - Heat Advisories 7/27 & 7/28

This is a message from ReadyMontco

A Heat Advisory has been issued for Montgomery County on Thursday, 7/27. An Excessive Heat Watch has been issued for the eastern portion of the county on Friday, 7/28 while the western portion of the county remains in a Heat Advisory.

The U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) issues heat advisories and excessive heat warnings when heat or the combination of heat and humidity is forecast to be impactful to life safety. While the NWS will alert you to be prepared for potential illness or other problems, it's your responsibility to take necessary actions to prevent illness. Use these basic tips to keep your cool as temperatures rise.

💧Stay Hydrated! Drink plenty of water daily. Avoid beverages with caffeine, sugar, and alcohol since they dehydrate you.
⏱Take a Break! If you're working outdoors, stop often to rest in the shade or air conditioning.
⏱10 to 3 - Not for Me: Avoid strenuous activities outdoors during the hottest part of the day, typically between 10 AM and 3 PM.
👋Knock & Talk: Be a good neighbor. Check on your older neighbors and those who are sick. Make sure they are drinking water and have a cool place to relax during the heat. If not, offer to take them to a cool place like a mall or library for a few hours.
🚗Look Before You Lock: Check the back seat of your car every time to ensure you don't forget kids or pets while running errands.

If someone gets sick from heat, you need to act quickly. First, call 9-1-1. Then move them to shade or air conditioning. Use cool and damp rags or wrapped ice packs to help them cool down. Know the signs of heat stroke, which is a medical emergency and can only be treated in the hospital.

ROAD CLOSURE: Milling will take place by the Township Public Works Department today, July 6th on Denston Drive (from Fort Washington Avenue to Joel Drive) and on Jonathan Way (from Denston Drive to Tannerie Run Road). Paving for these roads will take place on Monday, July 10th.

Milling on Anzac Avenue (from Fitzwatertown Road to Clemens Avenue) will take place tomorrow, July 7th. Paving will take place on Anzac Avenue Tuesday, July 11th.

Work hours are between 7:00am and 5:00pm, however schedules are dependent on weather and equipment breakdowns. Temporary "No Parking" signs will be posted by the Township's Highway Department at least one (1) day in advance of work being done in an area. Residents are strongly encouraged to move their vehicles out of driveways and off the affected street before 7:00am the day work is to begin. Through-traffic will be delayed or prohibited as needed. Local traffic and emergency vehicles will be accommodated where possible.

When work is in progress directly in front of homes, there will be a varying wait time depending on the stage of the project before driveway access is available. The wait may be up to 30 minutes during milling, however, during paving the wait could take several hours as the blacktop goes through a curing process. If vehicles drive on blacktop before it is fully cured, damage may occur to the new street surface, vehicle finish, tires, and driveways. If there are unusual circumstances that warrant special consideration, please contact the Upper Dublin Township Public Works Department as soon as possible at 215-643-1600 ext. 3810 to provide your contact information.

For more information on the Township's 2023 Paving Programs, a list of affected streets with estimated work dates, and to see who will be conducting work on each street, please visit: https://www.upperdublin.net/paving-programs/
