Aston Township’s Emergency Management Agency encourages all residents to develop a disaster preparedness program to ensure the safety and welfare of individuals, families and businesses.  These four important steps will assist you in preparing your home or business in time of disasters including heavy rains, flooding, power outages, etc.  

Prepare a Disaster Kit
A disaster kit should have essential supplies needed to sustain yourself and your family during and after a disaster.  The most essential supplies are water, non-perishable food, radio, first-aid kit, extra batteries, prescription medications, and important family documents.

Make a Plan
Essential components should include a communication plan, out-of-town contacts, evacuation and shelter-in-place plans, and knowledge of emergency procedures at work, school, and other areas within the community.

Be Informed
 Keep informed about all the different types of disasters that could affect your home and community.  To become more 

 

familiar with how to react in an emergency, go to www.ready.gov or call 1-800-BE-READY (1-800-237-3239). 

Get Involved
Once you have your home and family prepared, reach out to your neighbors and make them aware of the importance of  preparedness.  A valuable informational resource is available at www.citizencorps.gov. 

   Aston Township’s Emergency Management Agency offers the opportunity to share preparedness issues and concerns with the public.   If you would like more information on scheduling a guest speak to discuss these important issues with members of your club or organization please contact the Emergency Management Coordinator at Aston Township Municipal Building, 610-494-1636.   

Recycling items will be picked up during the weeks of October 2 – 6; October 16 – 20; and October 30 and 31.  Please note your calendars!
