⏰🍂 FALL BACK AND STAY SAFE! 🚒🚑

The Clinton County Department of Emergency Services would like to remind everyone that Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 2:00 AM!

Don’t forget to TURN YOUR CLOCKS BACK ONE HOUR before heading to bed Saturday night!

As we gain an extra hour of sleep, this is also a great opportunity to take a few minutes to make sure your home and family are safe!

🚨 IMPORTANT HOME SAFETY REMINDERS:

🔋 Check Your Smoke Alarms: Test all smoke alarms and replace batteries if needed. Smoke alarms should be installed on every level of your home, inside bedrooms, and outside sleeping areas.

🔋 Check Your Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarms: Test your CO alarms and replace batteries as needed. Carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless gas that can be deadly.

🔥 Replace Old Alarms: Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years. Check the manufacturer’s instructions for when to replace CO alarms.

🏠 Practice Your Family Escape Plan: Make sure everyone in your household knows at least two ways out of each room and where to meet outside in the event of a fire.

🧯 Check Fire Extinguishers: Make sure your fire extinguishers are accessible, properly maintained, and ready for use.

♨️ Heating Safety: With colder weather approaching, have your heating equipment inspected and keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from heating equipment.

🔦 Check Emergency Supplies: Make sure flashlights, batteries, and emergency supplies are ready in case of a power outage.

⚠️ REMEMBER: If your smoke or CO alarm sounds, take it seriously! Get everyone outside to safety and call 9-1-1.

A few minutes of prevention today could save a life tomorrow!

The Clinton County Department of Emergency Services encourages all residents to use this weekend as a reminder to make home safety a priority.

PennDOT Announces I-80 Lane Closures in Clinton County

Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced work to seal joints along Interstate 80 (I-80) eastbound and westbound between mile markers 185 and 195 are scheduled to start on Monday, November 2. This work will improve the ride quality and extend the service life of nearly 10 miles of I-80 in Green Township, Clinton County.

The contractor will place traffic control devices that will close the left (passing) lane on the eastbound and westbound sides on Monday, November 2, and Tuesday, November 3. Work to repair the joints will begin on Wednesday, November 4. PennDOT anticipates the contractor completing the joint repairs and reopening all lanes before Thanksgiving, but all construction schedules are subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

While all work falls within the borders of Clinton County, some wok zone signage along the westbound lanes will be placed in Union County. Drivers are urged to exercise caution in all work zones, obey posted speed limits and work zone signage, avoid following trucks delivering material into the closed lane, and to always buckle up.

This work is part of a larger project that will carry over into the 2027 construction season. Work to be completed next year includes patching, surface preparation, and the application of a thin coat of material to extend the service life of the roadway. PennDOT will issue an update before work begins for the 2027 construction season.

Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. of State College, PA, is the contractor on this $4.5 million project.
