Severe Weather Warning for Belmar and Lake Como
Important message from the Belmar Police Department and Belmar/Lake Como Office of Emergency Management:
The heavy rain has lead to many roads being impassable due to flooding throughout town including Highway Rt. 35. Avoid any unnecessary travel and follow any road detours that are in place. Never drive through flooded roads and be sure your vehicle is not parked in flood prone areas. Residents with basements are reminded to check them periodically for water and make sure their sump pumps are operating properly.
Belmar and Lake Como DPW have been out clearing catch basins and drains of debris to help minimize flooding. Also, the outflow pipes for both Belmar’s Silver Lake and Lake Como Lake have been opened throughout the event to help lower lake levels and will continue to be open until the water levels are lower.
If you do not need to travel, please stay off roadways until water has receded.
Belmar / Lake Como OEM will continue to monitor the storm which is expected to last throughout the night. Contact 9-1-1 or the Belmar Police Department 732-681-1700 in the event of an emergency.
