Board hears EMA update: Red Cross sheltering, FEMA project closed, Rave emergency-alert sign-up launched
Summary
The EMA director met with Red Cross to coordinate sheltering at the school; the town completed an outstanding FEMA project; officials said the EMA is promoting the Rave emergency-alert system and asked board members to sign up and encourage public enrollment.
Chair (S1) told the board that the EMA director met with the Red Cross and that the town school has been designated to operate as an independent shelter in emergencies. "He wanted to share with you, 1st of all, that he did meet with the Red Cross and the school has turned the town off as a independent shelter," the Chair said, describing coordination to cover shelter costs and oversight.
The Chair also reported that a pending FEMA project has been completed and staff met outstanding requirements. As part of outreach, the EMA is advertising the Rave alert program and distributing flyers; the Chair encouraged board members to sign up and asked the board's assistance publicizing the service. "You can scan it or, just go to the website and just enter in your cell phone number and your address," the Chair said, explaining the sign-up puts residents on an emergency-call list for emergencies only.
Board members agreed to help promote the program at the town counter and on the town website.
