The Borough of River Edge has installed a Lightning Detection System for the protection of our residents and guests.
Lightning is a severe hazard that must be viewed seriously. Everyone should immediately seek shelter any time they believe lightning threatens them, even if a signal has not been sounded.
WHEN LIGHTNING IS DETECTED >>>
An 18 second blast of the horn will signal suspension of all activities.
A strobe light will begin flashing and remain flashing until safe conditions return.
YOU ARE MANDATED TO IMMEDIATELY SEEK AN APPROPRIATE SHELTER.
You may resume activities only after the horn is sounded and the strobe light stops flashing.
IF YOU REMAIN OUTDOOORS AFTER THE WARNING IS ISSUED, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
