🌡️ A Code Red Hot Weather Emergency has been declared for on the following days:

Thursday, June 11, 2026: Noon – 6 PM
Friday, June 12, 2026: Noon – 6 PM

A Code Red Hot Weather Emergency is declared when the temperature or heat index is expected to be at or above 100°F or higher for two or more hours. Extreme heat can be life-threatening, especially for older adults, young children, and those with health conditions.

Please take steps to stay safe:
☑️ Stay hydrated
☑️ Avoid strenuous activity during peak heat
☑️ Check on neighbors, especially seniors
☑️ Never leave children or pets in vehicles

Montgomery County is offering additional support for vulnerable individuals, including those experiencing unsheltered homelessness and weather-sensitive older adults.

On Monday, June 1st at 2:00 PM, and again on Tuesday, June 2nd at various intervals throughout the day, Constellation will conduct its semi-annual, full-volume test of the emergency warning sirens surrounding Limerick Clean Energy Center (formerly known as "Limerick Generating Station"). This is one of two semi-annual tests performed each year. There is no emergency or cause for concern.

The warning siren system consists of sirens located in the 10-mile radius around Limerick Clean Energy Center in Montgomery, Chester, and Berks Counties. In a real event, the sirens are not a signal to evacuate, but a warning to tune to a local Emergency Alert Broadcast television or radio station.

A great hands-on week that you could be involved with! Details below!

On Wednesday, the UPT-Trappe Office of Emergency Management and the Montgomery County Department of Public Safety supported the American Red Cross Southeastern Pennsylvania during an exercise at the Anderson Farm Park Community Center.

During this drill, the Red Cross team practiced their ability to rapidly respond to a shelter activation request and set up a functioning registration area. Their performance was evaluated on response time and implementation speed, highlighting the many behind‑the‑scenes logistics that go into effective emergency support.

Our Emergency Management Team routinely partners with the American Red Cross, the Montgomery County Department of Public Safety, and other agencies to ensure we remain ready and prepared for potential emergencies within the township and across the region.

Thanks to the UPT Parks and Rec team for the use of the facility!
