But you also notice the temperatures are above freezing until later this evening. Thats when things could start to get a bit icy. And by tomorrow morning, much of the area is below freezing. So anything that is in puddles, for example, will freeze. And as we go through the day tomorrow, weve got sunshine to melt whatever snow fell today and whatever ice. But thats pretty cold. Unlike now, its 57 in dover. 54 in millville. 50 in northeast philly. But only 35 in allentown. How about that for a temperature contrast . And its just what we told you was going to happen. And back to the west, temperatures are only in the 20s compared to the 40s now.

Id like to take a minute to thank all the city workers who have contributed to this huge event. The City Government tomorrow is closed. But hundreds of workers have been involved in the planning and preparation and many more will be working tomorrow to ensure that this great event goes off without a hitch. Also, i want to thank our partners at septa, including the hundreds of septa train and subway and Bus Operators who will be working tomorrow as well. Our Transit System will be challenged tomorrow, but i know these workers are devoted to getting folks to and from this event as quickly and safely as possible. To everyone who plans on coming, sign up for important parade updates by texting ready eagles, capital r, capital e to 888777. Remember, this is supposed to be a positive event to celebrate our super bowl champions. Please be patient with the crowds and patient with each other. And remember, act responsibly. Dont ruin this for the fans who have waited decades for what will be an historic day as the eagles finally parade up broad street. We are the city of brotherly love and sisterly affection. Please make this a proud moment that highlight ourselves great city actually before the world. Id like commissioner ross to come up and give some updates. All right, thank you, mayor. And i will be brief. But just a couple ofs to reiterate. Its going to be an historic day. One that we suspect people will enjoy. But just a couple things were asking. Most of them are reminders weve already put out. One would be, if you are traveling with small children, as i suspect many will be, when you are watching the parade, please keep a hand on your child so that you do not get separated. There will be so many people out there that even a separation of a few feet can be problematic. So something as simple as that is going to be key for us. In addition to which, it may not seem like its that important but if you are travel with groups that you come with on trains or from other distances, please stay together. If you get separated in crowds like this and your cell phone goes down, because the battery dies, it will be very, very difficult for you to locate your friends and loved ones. So as much as you can, not just with your children. Try to stay close to the people you came with. We asked yesterday that if you bring any kind of bags that you not put them down, even if you just want to walk into a store or something because someone will call. We probably get somewhere in the neighborhood of 1200 to 1300 calls a year for suspicious packages, which is actually a good thing for us because it suggests people are being responsive. Theyre listening to our call to assist us with suspicious activity. So please dont place things down on the ground even tae temporarily because a lot of times what happens is people forget and you lose track of them. Also, the same holds true if you should see something suspicious, please give us a call. Doesnt have to be a package. If you think something is going on that doesnt feel right to you, trust your instincts. Give us a call. Give us an idea of exactly where you are and will make every effort to respond to that. The bigger thing is mayor indicated patience will be the theme of the day. A lot of people. A lot more than most have ever seen in one gathering in this city. If you just be patient with each other, respectful with each other, the day will go well. Im the general manager for septa. Septa is excited to play a role in helping the best fans in the world celebrate the super bowl champion philadelphia eagles. Your best bets for parade travel are the market, frankfurt and broad street lines. Our friends at Independence Blue Cross are sponsoring free rides on both lines all day. Well be running the broad street and market frankfurt lines at rush hour levels throughout the day, meaning trains will run every five minutes. Both lines give you great access to the parade route. For Regional Rail, were going express trains into center city in the morning from selected outlying stations. Trains will then be ready for return service after the event. Where you get off, thats where you go back to get on. To safely manage crowds, travel on Regional Rail is limited to riders with weekly and monthly trail passes, reduced fare and senior passes and for those who purchased a special Independence Pass for the parade. And those special Independence Passes sold out today in just over 24 hours at 1 00 p. M. So we wont have any available for tomorrow. City and suburban trolleys and the norristown high speed line will operate throughout the day. Bus riders should check for detours before traveling. Riders on all septa modes should plan on arriving early. Check our website, septa. Org, for updates and details on parade day travel. N like the mayor, id really like to thank my employees for their hard work preparing and their efforts that they will be making tomorrow. Finally, enjoy but be safe. Be very careful riding our vehicles and stay behind the yellow line on platforms. Thank you. Good afternoon. Im dan bradley with the office of emergency management. A few points of information id like to share with today. Id like to reiterate the mayors statement. This is a once in a lifetime event. A fantastic celebration. We ask that you maintain patience and treat your fellow fans out there celebrating with respect. We do expect long lines but thats inherent to an event this big. Pulling an event off of this size requires significant amount of coordination. Weve worked with the city district, hotels, hospitals, Utility Partners to make sure everyone is prepared for what the potential crowd size could be and how we make sure essential services contain and continue throughout this event. Well also be operating something that we debuted the Democratic National convention. And that allows realtime communication between the City Public Safety team and all of the Business Owners in center city and all of the areas impacted. Thats our mechanism of making sure that in the middle of this event were having good communication with those throughout the center city area. I spoke a little bit the other day about Cell Phone Service being increased throughout the city. Weve been working on that for several weeks. Our telecommunication partners have deployed equipment throughout the city. Theyve also increased service on buildingmounted antennas. Its important to realize its not an exact science and that with everyone Live Streaming and tweeting and Everything Else everyone does with cell phones we could periodically lose Cell Phone Service. Text messages typically go through faster. But its important if theres an emergency or Something Else that happens to really stay off phone conversations. Consider sending a tweet or social media message indicating where youll meet up or to let your friends and family know where youll meet up again. Id like to talk a little bit about crowd safety. The Weather Forecast is to be clear and in the 30s. Were emphasizing that folks dress in warm layers. Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk long distances and make a plan before coming. If youre coming with your family, groups of friends, make a plan about where youll regroup if you get separated, just as the commissioner said. The Philadelphia Fire Department will have several medical stations positioned throughout the parade route. They are there to provide any assistance for things that should happen to the crowd. If you or someone youre with becomes separated, especially children, you can direct them to any Philadelphia Police officer and philly police will begin that reunification effort. Id also encourage fans to take advantage of the jumbotrons located throughout center city along the parkway beginning at city hall through love park. To really make sure that you can see the most of the parade that you can. Those jumbotrons will be broadcasting the full length of the parade. If you cant find a spot on broad street, theres plenty of space on the parkway. Specifically for coming with children, we expect a crowd to be a sea of green tomorrow. If you are traveling of with small children and youre worried about getting separated, dress them in something that will stand out in the crowd. Have them memorize your phone number and take a preevent selfie with what your children are wearing that day. Thats something we say for every large mass gathering on the parkway. It makes police jobs that much easier to reunify folks with their kids very, very quickly. Id like to just mention again about ready eagles. Weve seen tremendous enrollment in the ready eagles. Thats texting readyeagles to 888777. Were at over 70,000 registrations, which is the number of fans we fit in the linc so lets keep going on that. Follow the city twitter accounts phillyoem an and phillygov for additional updates. Well be using readyeagles to push out information from septa, Public Safety information and weather alerts and Everything Else to make sure everyone attending this event has the information they need to realtime. And finally, id like to talk about the citys posture. For an event of this scale, the Emergency Operations center will be activated tomorrow at 8 00 a. M. That includes representatives from the state, local and federal government. Thats really our coordination hub to make sure everything at this event goes extremely smoothly. One of the interesting things were doing for event is also establishing a joint information center. Thats going to be the hub for answering all media inquiries, addressing social media, and thats going to really be the site and location where readyeagles messages will come from. Thank you. We are prepared to answer questions. [ inaudible question ] we dont really know. We know its going to be a lot. I think it was a millionplus for the phillies. We probably could hit 2. Maybe go over that. Im not really sure. Its all according to how many people can get into the city. Thats why Public Transit is so important because if you drive and youre stuck in traffic and youre there three, four hours and see nothing, its a shame. Try to get your mass transit plans down so you get here and see something. We think maybe size 2. [ inaudible ]. Well see. Theres a lot of eagles, and the eagles fan base goes from delaware to central and southern new jersey to reading, allentown you know, so theres a lot of folks that bleed green. [ inaudible ]. No. No, but i dont think theyd take our advice anyway these days at least. I dont know what theyre doing. To be serious, i dont know what decided to do. Its going to be hard for the courthouse because i assume for a courthouse to function because people changing their schedules and stuff like that. I dont know. We did not ask them that. [ inaudible ]. Sunday night was extremely annoying and concerning. But if you look at other celebrations throughout the country for, you know, national championships, there is there was kind of a riot in amherst, massachusetts, and they lost. The people were doing the things they were doing, destroying property and the things and the poles and the windows and things of that nature. Theres no one angrier in this room than our police commissioner, and those guys those folks, as i called them, knuckleheads, are being sought after now. And a few are either turned themselves in or have been arrested. Well do the same. What i dont understand is how dumb people can really be. These days, everything is videotaped. And not is it videotaped on security cameras but videotaped by themselves and their friends and they post it on social media. You put your own wanted poster out on social media for all to see. Our Police Department is very professional, very experienced. Have done large events similar to this before. Probably this will be larger but they know what theyre doing. They know how to allow feem have fun and step in when they have to step in. Our rule of thumb has been no property damage. Dont hurt anyone and certainly dont hurt yourself. Falling from those loot poles is a dangerous situation, especially if youre neeberate inebriated. Youre hearing from the mayor james kenney. The Transit System will be challenged on this historic day celebrating the eagles. The market, frankfurt and broad street lines are the best options running every five minutes and an estimated 2 Million People could be out there. They emphasize you keep your children close, have a plan if you get separated from your family. And those Regional Rail passes are sold out. Come up with another plan. Some good information coming out of that. And all that information on nbc10. Com and our app you can download. Fans will be heading to the parade from all corners of the area, including the jersey shore. Nbc 10s Ted Greenberg shows us what theyre doing to make sure theyre part of the historic moment. Reporter jen moyer of cape may courthouse making sure she, her husband and three kids have a ride to the eagles parade of champions tomorrow. Grew up in northeast philly. Ive been an eagles fan my entire life. This is like a moment in history ive got to be a part of. Lower township Real Estate Agent heather gray has been working around the clock booking seats on five buses she chartered that will take these people and more than 250 others from Cape May County to the parade philadelphia. To see the team is going to be amazing. Reporter theyll bring posters, plenty of green and tons of eagles pride. Im so excited. I cant wait to get there. Then ill be bored next week but i cant wait. Reporter she initially planned to charter just one bus but almost immediately, it became clear that wouldnt be nearly enough. It went like Cape May County viral, i think, because everybody people that i dont know are calling me like 11 30ish last night. People were dropping money off at my house. And an overwhelming response from those psyched to see the super bowl champs on parade. And if this is any indication , eagles fly those five buses will be anything but quiet.
