A message from Mayor Ras J. Baraka on the upcoming winter storm.

Our public works crews are actively preparing for the storm.

Please don’t drive, or travel by foot, unless it is absolutely necessary.

Do not double-park, or park at corners or block fire hydrants, and avoid shovelling snow into the street. Check on neighbors who may need assistance.

To report no heat or hot water in your home, call the Division of Code Enforcement at (973) 733-6471.

If you encounter an unsheltered individual in need of non-emergency services, please text “PATH HOME” to 855-11.

To assist with snow removal on secondary and tertiary streets, we are seeking minutemen, which are emergency, on-call operators, who can respond quickly and assist with clearing streets on short notice. If you are interested in signing up, please call: 973-733-5485 or visit 62 Frelinghuysen Avenue.
