Full Notification

Good afternoon, this is Mayor Cristina Cutrone with an important update following last night’s severe storm.
 
I just concluded a call with PSE&G regarding restoration efforts. Across Bergen County, approximately 20,000 customers remain without power, including about 125 homes here in Fair Lawn. Crews are working as quickly and safely as possible to restore service.  Please call PSE&G directly to report any power outages.  They can be reached at 1-800-436-7734.
 
In the meantime, I want to remind everyone to use extreme caution. Never drive over downed power lines, and always assume any wire on the ground is energized and dangerous. If you are clearing branches or storm debris from your property, please be aware that power lines may be hidden underneath. Do not attempt to move any branch or object that may be in contact with a wire.
 
If you encounter a road that has been closed or blocked off, please do not drive around barricades or attempt to enter the area. These closures are in place to protect your safety and to allow emergency crews to do their work.
 
The Recycling Center on Saddle River Road will be open today from Noon until 3:45 p.m.  Branches and small tree limbs will be accepted.  Otherwise, please leave them at the curb for your regularly scheduled pick up.
 
Finally, if you or someone you know is an older adult who needs assistance because of the storm, please contact our Age Friendly Coordinator at 201-777-6135 and leave a message. We will return your call as quickly as possible and do our best to connect you with available resources.
 
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as our Department of Public Works crews, police officers, firefighters, EMTs and utility workers continue responding throughout the borough.
 
Stay safe.
