During the last storm, snow plow operations were hampered by many branches and trees that fell onto streets. The Ela Township Highway Department began clearing debris from the streets and the Citizens Emergency Response Team (CERT) was also called out to help.  

CERT volunteers Eric Schildkraut, Robert Wadowski, Jeff Fox, Gayle Fox and Gregg Heineman worked for over two hours removing whole trees and broken branches from the roadways.  The Village of Kildeer and its residents very much appreciate the help that Ela Township and CERT provided!
