THORNTON TOWNSHIP GOVERNMENT STEPS UP FOR EMERGENCY FLOOD ALERT
April 18, 2013 (South Holland, IL). Early this morning Thornton Township Supervisor Frank M. Zuccarelli communicated with his Emergency Preparedness Team to mobilize, aid and assist residents and municipalities with the flooding efforts that have engulfed the South Suburbs. We have received numerous phone calls from municipalities and residents such as Calumet City, Dolton and Harvey to aid and assist with the flood relief efforts that have engulfed south suburban municipalities. Last summer State Senator Donne Trotter awarded Thornton Township with a grant and partial usage of the grant was earmarked for emergency preparedness efforts such as the air conditioning program last summer where we distributed and installed over 400 air conditioners for the heat wave of Summer 2012. Township Supervisor Frank M. Zuccarelli will have his Emergency Preparedness Team overseeing the flood alert for the duration of the week. “Thornton Township Government graduated over 100 individuals to have a hands on approach to handle Emergency Preparedness such as the existing floods that we have today, heat waves, tornadoes, earthquakes, bombings etc.
