preparing for storm memo 3

Town officials are busy preparing for the anticipated hurricane/storm. Highway crews will be working on Saturday, cleaning drains and preparing for the storm. One of the problems we're facing -- it's leaf season. Leaves are falling. We could clear a drain and it could get re-clogged up hours later as leaves fall. Thankfully, there are many fewer leaf piles around town this year than in years past. We appreciate your cooperation re: bagging or mulching leaves.

The following information may be useful to you to have.

Residents reporting damage, downed electric wires, roadway obstructions or any other dangerous situation should be directed to call 682-5300. Please do not rely on email.

Any town facility can give people shelter but the town’s designated shelter for a place to sleep and eat for a prolonged time will be the Multi Purpose Center at AF Veteran Park.

Folks need to get their sump pumps ready, have non perishable food, water, medicines, pet food, flashlights and gas up your generators.
