Fall Shred Event
Middletown Township is excited to once again partner with Inspire Federal Credit Union and the Oxford Valley Mall to bring a Fall Shred Event to the community! Identity theft affects millions of Americans each year and accounts for billions of dollars in losses. One of the best ways to protect yourself is to properly destroy any documents and papers that have sensitive information, such as account numbers, passwords, and social security numbers. Shredding paper yourself can be time consuming, but this event offers a great opportunity to save time and protect yourself from identity theft!
The Fall Shred Event will take place on October 7th from 9 a.m. to noon on the Woodbourne Road side of the Oxford Valley Mall Parking lot. Residents may bring up to three boxes of paper for the shredding trucks to destroy. We hope you take advantage of the simple, free opportunity to protect your personal information!

Ash trees throughout the region are being killed by an invasive insect. As noted in past E-News articles, the Emerald Ash Borer is a highly destructive foreign species that deprives ash tress of water and nutrients. The Township has already taken steps to remove dead ash trees as well as treat some to prevent infestation.
For residents concerned about trees on their property, the best course of action is to have it inspected by a certified arborist. The arborist can assess any damage done and provide a recommended plan for either treatment or removal of the tree.
For additional information on the Emerald Ash Borer and how to identify ash trees, please visit the website for the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources or refer to the past E-News articles from August 2015, February 2016, and July 2016.

National Preparedness Month
The Board of Supervisors has proclaimed Middletown's recognition of National Preparedness Month! This national awareness campaign from the Federal Emergency Management Agency aims to educate the population on the importance of emergency preparedness. This year's theme, "Disasters Don't Plan Ahead. You Can," highlights the importance of planning for an emergency before one occurs. Create a plan for communicating with family, gathering supplies, and transportation. Planning ahead can help you, your family, and the community be ready when a disaster strikes!
For more information on National Preparedness Month, please visit ready.gov.

The touchscreen monitor was recently set up next to the cashier's window and is now fully operational. Check it out!

Fire Prevention with the Boy Scouts
On the evening of October 17th, the Fire Marshal's Office will host their annual education event for the local Boy Scouts. Township staff and local fire companies will instruct approximately 200 attendees on important elements of fire safety. Scouts will be able to earn badges while learning about fire investigations, Ham radios, vehicle accident rescues, campfire safety and many more important safety topics. They will also interact with trailers, props, and demonstrations to get hands-on practice of what they learn.
