Commissioner urges neighbors to check on elderly as cold snap brings supply needs
Summary
A commissioner described personally picking up basic supplies for elderly Town Creek residents who could not get to stores during severe cold and urged neighbors to help and avoid driving after dark because of black ice risk.
Unidentified Commissioner recounted receiving calls from Town Creek residents during a cold spell and said he and his wife picked up basic necessities—calling out toilet paper and other supplies—for elderly neighbors who could not travel to stores.
"Jennifer and I received several calls from some neighbors of ours…and we were able to go up to the store, pick up what they needed for them, and get those supplies to them," the commissioner said, urging residents to check on older neighbors who may be reluctant to ask for help.
The commissioner also warned of dangerous driving conditions as temperatures rise during the day and freeze at night, producing black ice, and advised residents to avoid driving after dark if possible.
He asked residents to prioritize checking on neighbors and to take precautions during the forecasted sleet and ice event tonight.
