A Message from Holmdel Mayor Pat Impreveduto

Mayor stresses caution and preparedness.

Holmdel Mayor Pat Impreveduto made the following remarks via townwide automated call yesterday, August 25, 2011.

As you probably know, Hurricane Irene continues to strengthen and move toward the East Coast. This is currently a large Category 3 storm, and has the potential, depending on its track over the upcoming weekend, to be a serious threat to our area.

At this time State, County & Local Emergency Management Officials are urging all residents to monitor local TV & Radio stations for announcements, and to begin emergency preparations for personal preparedness. For assistance with emergency planning residents are urged to go to www.ready.gov and click on Hurricane Preparedness. Necessities such as medications, batteries, candles/flashlights, bottled water, etc. must be considered.
