Be Prepared for Emergencies

Hurricane Ian’s wide-reaching impact from the Caribbean and along the United States’ east coast was a sharp reminder of how powerful storms can be! Residents of coastal areas are wise to prepare for the worst – whether for a hurricane, a Nor’Easter, or a prolonged freezing snow/ice storm!

With severe weather conditions in mind, this week’s Climate Action Bulletin reminds all of us of specific steps to take in order to be prepared. Thanks to Storm-Surge.org for this document. Check their list to be sure you have thought of everything now – so you can relax and be ready for whatever weather is ahead!

Be Prepared Information Sheet 
The one-page Sheet provides phone numbers for local emergency and medical contacts, a list of supplies important for you to have on hand, and ways to plan for emergency evacuation, including what to bring with you. A link to the sheet for the North Shore is below, applicable to both residents and business owners.
