Where to Go for Shelter or Medical Help

With much of Warren still without electricity, keep these locations in mind.

You Need To Know The Doctor Is In: The power's out inside, but the Overlook Medical Center's Healthy Avenues van will be outside the offices of Warren Primary Care and Dr. Joseph Clemente, at 7 Mt. Bethel Road, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

You Need To Know Where the Warmth Is: Stonecrest Community Church is still offering a warm place to spend the day for residents without power. You can enjoy Internet connections, showers (bring your own soap and towels), and a bit of comaraderie.

You Need To Know Power Progress: Last night, Assemblyman Jon Bramnick, R-21, issued a release with anticipated progress by JCP&L, based on discussions with the company's management. According to the release, about half of the remaining Warren customers without power will have service restored today, while most of the rest will have service back tomorrow. Unfortunately, the company is not saying where they will be working or what neighborhoods will have service back (but you can send us a note and we'll map it).

You Need To Know About Water Supplies: If you need bottled water, head to the police department. If you need gallons of water for washing or flushing, take a container to the pump at the municipal ballfields and fill up.

You Need To Know About School Days: With schools closed for a third day, school officials are working out how to handle the missed time. They'll be looking at ways to make up the days without inconveniencing families who may already have plans for long weekends and holidays—but it will be tough, more snowy days lie ahead.
