This week, Tour 1 assisted two of River Hills First Aid Squad, Inc members with Traction Splinting skills. Both Shane Heinl and Maxim Khromov are currently in EMT Class. They were assisted by Supervisor Tim Kortenhaus and EMTs Daniella Camporeale, Isabella Moore and Carla Ward. Due to the time of day, Tour 1 Nights with Kaiylynn Basso and Andy Caruso were also on site assisting (and passing out freshly baked protein cookies!).

Slightly busier month than normal. We also had our second month with a significant snow storm with volunteers providing extra crews. We would like to thank Neptune Township Office of Emergency Management Township Police Department, Neptune Uniformed Firefighters - IAFF Local 2691 for all their assistance during the storm.

We only went to Mutual aid 5 times and provided mutual aid to other municipalities 14 times.

Stay safe out there!

We are ecstatic to announce NTEMS has been awarded our National Association of EMTs (NAEMT) Training Center certification. What does this mean? We may now host NAEMT classes such as PHTLS/TECC, Breaking Bad News, Mental Health Resilience Officer, EMS Safety and more. We currently have several instructors and plan on certifying more. We would like to thank and recognize Paramedic/Supervisor Tim Kortenhaus and EMT/Instructor Mat Giachetti for their tireless efforts in getting our agency to this point. Well done gents!

𝐌𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞, 𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐍𝐨𝐧-𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥

𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 (𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟐/𝟐𝟑 𝟏:𝟑𝟎𝐏𝐌):
Major snowstorm Hernando is expected to exit our area between 3:00PM and 5:00PM tonight. The storm dropped 20-24" of snow throughout Neptune Township, with strong winds over 45mph creating snow drifts significantly deeper. The snow is wet and heavy, and is extremely challenging to shovel and plow. Gusty winds will remain throughout the night before tapering off on Tuesday morning.

𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 & 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬:
• CONTINUE TO STAY OFF THE ROADS! The snow will be tapering off between 4:00-6:00PM, but roads remain extremely hazardous after nearly two feet of wet, heavy snow fell. Please remain in your home and off the roads until Tuesday morning at the earliest, and expect a slow morning commute.
• Neptune Public Works, Sewer Department, Housing Authority, County and State plows are on the road clearing the streets, focusing on primary and secondary roads. Due to the rapid rate of snowfall (2-4" per hour), all roads are hazardous, whether they have been plowed or not. Please be patient and give the plows space to operate!
• Strong winds have caused numerous power outages impacting residents throughout Neptune Township. JCP&L is responding for repairs, but restoration times are delayed due to dangerous conditions. Visit https://outages-nj.firstenergycorp.com/ to report outages and view estimated restoration times.
• Snow Parking Restrictions remain in effect, do not move your vehicles.
• DPW has suspended all garbage/recycling pickup for Tuesday and Wednesday.
