Heat Advisory/Heat Warning
Update #1
July 27, 2023

Dear Resident,

The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for our area until 6:00am Friday and an Excessive Heat Warning from 6am until 10pm Friday.  Temperatures are expected to reach the mid-90s with a chance of showers and thunderstorms.  At this time, the advisories expire Friday night, but heat and heavy rain along with gusty winds are forecast for Saturday. 

Rains and gusty winds can cause power outages.  We have been in contact with JCP&L and they are prepared to activate their storm response plan should it become necessary.  In the event outages occur due to severe weather, report your outage by calling 1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877), clicking the “Report Outage” link on www.firstenergycorp.com, or by texting out to 544487.    

Assume all downed wires are live and dangerous.  Do not drive over or touch them.  Report to the Marlboro Police immediately at 732-536-0100. 

Young children and infants, pregnant women, as well as older adults and those with chronic medical conditions are at higher risk of heat related illness. Please take extra precautions and review the websites below to learn how to recognize heat related illnesses. 

Do not leave children or pets alone in a car for even a minute.  A vehicle heats up quickly and a child’s body temperature rises faster than an adult’s.   Animals are at risk for brain damage or heatstroke in just 15 minutes and leaving a pet in a car unattended is illegal in New Jersey. We remind you to check the back seat every time you leave the vehicle. If you see a child or pet left unattended in a vehicle, dial 911 immediately.  

Recycling Update – Due to the heat, recycling may be picked up early for zone 8 (Friday) and items should be placed curbside the night before. 

Please review the following websites for heat safety tips:

The Marlboro Police are available 24/7 and can be reached at 732-536-0100.  For emergencies always dial 911.   Please take a moment to check in on your neighbors, especially those that are older or with disabilities. We will update you as necessary. 

Stay safe,

Mayor Jon Hornik
