(9/4 Update) ATTENTION: Presque Isle State Park will continue to be closed today, September 4, with anticipated closure through Sunday, September 6, 2026.

In addition to pedestrian access, the park closure includes access by vehicle, bicycle, boat beaching, and mooring.

Following severe storms earlier this week, the entire park is without power, and park maintenance crews continue cleanup efforts to remove a large number of downed trees while preparing areas for power pole and line repairs.

The Tom Ridge Environmental Center and Erie Bluff’s State Park remain open to visitors for the holiday weekend.

Park staff are monitoring the situation, and updates can be found on the DCNR website, here on the park’s page, or by calling the Presque Isle State Park Office at 814-833-7424.

As we continue to work through this situation, please review the guidelines set forth by the City if Erie. We are all working together to clear roads to allow electrical crews access to restore power.

As we prepare for another potential round of storms, City crews continue working around the clock to clear roadways and respond to impacts as quickly and safely as possible.

Please take a few minutes to review these important safety reminders:
📱 Conserve your phone battery. Turn on low power mode, lower your screen brightness, and limit nonessential use.
🔌 Unplug unnecessary electronics during an outage to help prevent damage from power surges when electricity is restored.
🧊 Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible during a power outage to keep food cold longer.
🧯 Know where your emergency supplies are including flashlights, batteries, and first-aid.
🚗 If a tree falls on your car, please contact your insurance company first. Once you’ve contacted them, then please call the Streets Department to remove it: 814-870-1340.

⚠️ If you’re using a generator during a power outage, please remember these important safety tips:
- Keep generators outside and at least 20 feet away from your home, doors, and windows to prevent carbon monoxide from entering your home.
- Never connect a generator directly to building wiring unless a qualified electrician has installed the proper transfer equipment first.
- Always use heavy-duty extension cords and check them regularly for overheating or damage.
- Most generators aren't designed to run continuously for extended periods, so please shut it off periodically so it doesn’t overheat.
- Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safe operation and maintenance.

👉 We will also be sharing additional resources tomorrow morning, including locations offering cool, safe spaces, places where residents can charge their phones and other devices, and locations offering laundry, and additional services. Follow our social media for updates.

✨ Remember to take care of yourself and your neighbors. Power outages and severe weather can be stressful, so please check in on family, friends, and neighbors, especially older adults, people with disabilities, and anyone who may need additional assistance.

Our crew has been working with the City of Erie throughout the day to open streets and clear debris. Please follow all safety guidelines to keep not only yourself safe but all the crews working safe as well.

The City of Erie has officially declared a State of Emergency following severe weather that caused significant damage throughout the City on September 2 and 3.

City crews have been working hard to assess damage and clear roadways. The City’s immediate priority is clearing streets from curb to curb to ensure safe passage for residents and emergency responders.

🌳 Downed Trees and Debris
- City crews are aware of all downed trees in the City of Erie.
- If a tree has fallen into a city street, City crews will respond and work to clear it. Residents should not attempt to remove trees from roadways themselves.
- Residents with storm debris should place it between the curb and sidewalk for collection.
- Residents should stay away from downed trees, as they may be under tension or in contact with electrical lines.
- If a tree has fallen onto a home or caused significant property damage, residents should contact their insurance company. If you are trapped in your home or facing immediate emergency, call 911.

Branches and Trees on City Property
- If a tree or large branch is down in a city boulevard, residents should report it by calling Matthew Falcone at 814-923-3597 for assessment and removal.
- If a tree on private property is leaning or otherwise presents a potential hazard, residents should contact Matthew Falcone at 814-923-3597 or a certified arborist to have the tree assessed.

⚡ Power Lines
- Stay away from all downed power lines. Treat every downed line as energized and call 911 to report it.

🗑️ Refuse collection remains on its normal schedule.

Due to storm damage and ongoing safety assessments, 15 City parks and facilities are closed until further notice. See the full list at https://www.erie.pa.us/community/public_safety.php.

Residents are urged to use extreme caution at all other City parks and recreational facilities as crews continue to clear storm-related hazards.
