Emergency Shelter and Comfort Stations: Where to go in case of an emergency

The Borough’s response to an emergency will depend on the severity of a given incident. Emergency Stations provide limited transitional services and can accommodate up to 200 residents. Services include WIFI internet access, phone charging stations, water and a warm place to stay during daytime hours. Water is also available at Borough hall and the North and Southside Fire stations (bring containers).

The Borough will notify residents if an Emergency Station is operating.
