  There were charging stations set up in Madison for precisely that purpose. Madison kept people informed of that continuosly. People used their cars and offices to charge as well. If they relied on friends that DO have power, it stands to reason they would charge there as well.

  I am signed up with Nixle for Madison, Chatham Twsp and Chatham Boro; my point is, the Boro didn't make nearly as much use of it as the other two towns

  I don't think posting on the websites is enough; if you don't have internet access on your computer, then you can only see it on the smartphones, and it's a bit of challenge to read full website pages on smartphones. Twitter, facebook and nixle text alerts with corresponding emails allow for more than 140 characters and much easier to read on smart phones. Website postings just dont cut it for me.

  Nobody knows about the warming station because the Borough doesn't make enough use of social media. Madison sent text messages/twitter/facebook updates every hour during their ordeal. Chatham Township sends a handful a day. I saw nothing from the Borough except school closing annoucements and brush pickup. Their one tweet about shelter was on October 30 which referred people to Summit Middle School.
