This is the website for AGREM, Incorporated, also known as Avon Grove Regional Emergency Management. We are an emergency management organization located in Chester County,
Pennsylvania providing support for the boroughs of Avondale and West Grove, and the nearby townships of Penn, New London, Franklin, and London Britain.
We encourage you to review our site to learn more about our organization, and what we do for the area we cover. If you have any questions, or would like to volunteer, or even just attend a meeting or two to see what we're all about, we encourage you to do so.
Our site is also about informing you, the public, about emergency management and both personal and business preparedness for disasters, be they natural or man-made. Given the importance of weather, we have placed critical information and graphics related to weather on our homepage to provide you with quick access to this information. Our weather page has additional information, so we encourage you to visit it as well.
We are a non-profit organization, and our website is frequently changed or updated by volunteers. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause for our visitors, as we strive to provide the most recent information available to you.
All Pennsylvania residents must wear a mask at all times when out in public. This includes wearing one outdoors, especially whenever social distancing (of 6 feet or greater) cannot be maintained, and whenever you visit a business.
Remember -- your mask protects those around you, and THEIR mask protects you. This simple, but important action will help limit the increased community spread of COVID-19 coronavirus, espcially here in Chester County.
The Chester County Health Department is providing free PCR (nasal swab) tests for individuals with symptoms, or who have had a known close contact with a positive case in the last 14 days. You can register for an appointment using using this link: Health Department Swab Testing Registration. This site has the latest locations and their hours of operation for all testing sites in Chester County.
A copmprehensive on-line toolkit and guidance specifically for Chester County's 15,000+ businesses and 525,000 residents is available at https://restorechestercounty.org

Note the change in meeting logistics!
If it is foggy or raining, you should turn on your headlights so that other drivers can more easily see you. On newer cars, don't rely on the automatic sensor to turn your lights on -- turn them on manually instead.
Also, remember that whenever your windshield wipers are on, your headlights should be on as well.
