First, we want to extend a welcome to any families that have been affected by this devastating storm. North Warren will be open as a warming shelter today and tomorrow from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Please consider stopping in and grabbing a warm meal and a warm shower. We plan to host a warming shelter again on Wednesday, from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, conditions pending.
We have been in constant contact with our Offices of Emergency Management and our DPW, as well as our local Mayors and Officials. The damage in our area is devastating with low hanging wires and trees across many major roadways. JCP&L is reporting that close to 70% of our residents are still without power. As such we are mindful that families may choose to temporarily relocate to find warmth and shelter outside of our immediate area.
To that end we are announcing today that North Warren Regional will be closed both Tuesday March 6, 2018, and Wednesday March 7, 2018. We will try to make a decision about Thursday as soon as we can, so that families have time to plan.
Please stay warm, and stay safe.
