Flood Preparation


Dear Residents:

Currently, we have no information that indicates that flooding will occur in Carnegie Borough; however, we continue to monitor the snow melt and its’ possible affect on our community very closely. Although flooding in Carnegie is not predicted or imminent at this time, we encourage all residents to take some simple steps to prepare for and to respond to any potential emergency that may occur.

 

1)  Prepare an emergency supply kit

2)  Make a family emergency plan
