Huron planning board reviews hazard mitigation email, considers reverse 911
Summary
Board members were asked to review a hazard mitigation email and discussed emergency notification options, including a possible reverse 911 system; no formal town-level emergency plan was adopted.
Chairman Alexandra Welsh asked Planning Board members to read an emailed hazard mitigation document and indicate whether anything needed to be added or updated. The request was framed as a review of the town's hazard mitigation information rather than an immediate vote or adoption.
Board member Deb Stuck asked how to proceed if power were lost during an emergency. Welsh noted a "reverse 911 system" as a possible way to reach the community. Member Larry Lockwood recalled that the county had discussed an emergency plan a few years earlier and raised the question of whether the town needed its own plan. The board did not adopt a municipal emergency plan at the meeting; members were asked to review the materials and report back.
