If power outages become a problem, the page will be used to announce the opening of an emergency warming station at the Washing Township Recreation Center, 895 Miamisburg-Centerville Road, the release stated.

The station will also be available during regular recreation center hours if temperatures drop within the coming days: Weekdays from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m.

Warming center activation along with other weather-related updates will also be posted on the township's Facebook and Twitter page.
