Are there Emergency Shelters available to residents in an event of a storm or natural disaster?
Yes, there are emergency shelters throughout the Town, but they are not always open during every storm. If there is a severe storm in the area, residents are urged to listen to the local radio stations for shelter location information. The Department of Emergency Preparedness has more information about what to do during natural disasters or storms, including where to locate designated emergency shelters.
