It was a very busy Sunday for your EMA.
After a Flash Flood Watch and Warning were issued a little after 4pm Sunday Aug 2, 2026, six of our members answered the call to protect the community.
From radar monitoring and reporting, stream readings, constant communications among members, Facebook & Website updating, notifying residents along Brook St and various other activities, we were there.
We also had 4 water rescue members on standby and ready for any calls in Montgomery and surrounding communities.
It certainly takes a team and we were glad to be there for the community.
Thankfully, even though Montgomery ended up with 3.75" of rain in less than a day, the only damage reported was a tree down and pole broken off near Heritage Park off of West Houston Avenue. The Susquehanna River at Montgomery also only rose to 9ft Monday Morning.
We were blessed this rain event didn't cause any problems this time, but it goes to show, you always want to be weather aware.
