Residents are urged to follow a series of heat safety tips during the period of severe heat and humidity. In addition, those without air conditioning at home are also advised to take advantage of these facilities. These individuals are encouraged to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures, and utilize the cooling centers if necessary. The OEM is particularly concerned for the safety of seniors, young children, and those with pre-existing health conditions. These include the Franklin Township Public Library and the Senior Center, which will be open during specific hours over the weekend to provide relief from the heat. To assist with this, the OEM has designated certain facilities as cooling centers. Residents are being urged to take precautionary measures to ensure their safety and well-being during this period. The Franklin Township Office of Emergency Management (OEM) has issued a severe heat and humidity alert, with the extreme weather conditions expected to last from today until Sunday.
