Sunday is a recovery day for our neighbors in West and South Philadelphia affected by yesterday’s storms. @PhiladelphiaGov is here to help today, tomorrow, and until we are all back to normal. Our crews are working around the clock to clear downed trees, restore services, assess damage, and support impacted families. I also signed a Declaration of Disaster Emergency to strengthen our recovery efforts and help ensure every available resource is brought to this response. If you need us today: • Emergency: Call 911 for life-threatening emergencies or immediate hazards. • Non-emergency issues: Report them through Philly311 by phone, online, or through the app. • Property damage: Complete the City’s online damage survey at Phila.gov so we can assess the full extent of the impacts and help guide recovery efforts. Please check on your neighbors today, especially seniors, people with disabilities, and anyone who may need a little extra help. Thank you to our first responders, emergency officials, city crews, utility workers, and every partner who has worked tirelessly since yesterday’s storms. Your professionalism, teamwork, and commitment to serving Philadelphia are making a real difference. To keep up with the progress being made text STORMPHL to 888-777. We’ll continue sharing updates as recovery efforts move forward. ——— @PhilaOEM @phl_cgoffice @StreetsPhila @PECOconnect @PhilaHsgAuthPHA @PhilaParkandRec @PhillyFireDept @phillypolice @PhillyH2O @philly311

FIFA World Cup Match Day. Philadelphia Stadium, 8:30pm. While there are no permits for fan marches, fan groups may still organize and travel together. Expect increased pedestrian volume. Police may need to close roads intermittently near the Sports Complex. Use caution traveling.

Last night, 3 @PhillyPolice officers were shot while answering a call for service. By the grace of God, all 3 are expected to recover. This could have ended very differently. Please keep these officers, their families, and all affected in your prayers. 6abc.com/post/3-philade…
