WEATHER
- Broadcast television Channel 69 is our local AccuWeather station, broadcasting regular forecasts during normal weather conditions and continuous updates during extreme weather.
- Cable and satellite TV providers carry The Weather Channel, though satellite does not provide customized local forecasts. This includes local weather radars every ten minutes, especially helpful in monitoring dangerous weather.
- Most of our local radio stations carry some form of weather forecasts at least once per hour, and usually more often.
- With the occurrence of severe weather on the increase, it’s also a good idea to invest in an approved NOAA weather radio.
- Residents along the river may find it helpful to monitor real-time flood gauges on the Internet. Click on the monitoring station closest to you. For reference: flooding at the Brodhead Creek/Minisink Hills gauge station often indicates similar conditions on our part of the river within 9-12 hours.
- Our local station of choice for broadcasting emergency messages of all kinds is Public Radio station WDVR-FM 91.9/89.7. They get direct feeds from our emergency management team during emergency activations.
There are no official public libraries within our township. However, there are two community-supported book exchanges:
- Little Free Library – Located in front of the Ferndale Post Office on Rt. 611 just south of the stoplight at Center Hill and Church Hill Roads, this small, pole-mounted box contains books placed there by your neighbors. They are intended for you to borrow. You may or may not return those exact books, but the system only works if you return some titles to replace those you've taken. This library is not monitored and works on the honor system. Open around the clock.
- Revere Community Library – Also unofficial, several shelves in the lobby of the Revere Post Office at the 90° curve on Rt. 611 are stocked by your neighbors for anyone to borrow. Again, it works on the honor system and no one monitors whether or not you return the books you borrow. But please bring some titles to replace those you've borrowed if you don't return the ones you take. Open during regular post office business hours.
