Residents are welcome to stop by to warm up, charge phones and essential devices, and remain safe while crews work to restore power. Township officials emphasize that this location is a warming station only, and ask visitors to bring personal necessities such as phone chargers, medications, medical equipment, and comfort items.

With dangerously cold temperatures across the region, officials are also sharing reminders to help residents protect their homes and stay safe:

• Drip at least one faucet to prevent frozen pipes
• Open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air to circulate
