Our Public Safety Telecommunicators have been inundated with calls all night and this morning. Please DO NOT call to report power outages. The PD has no role in power restoration and those calls interfere with other priority incident handling.

Town crews are out addressing fallen trees on a case by case basis. Please avoid traveling at this time as there are many trees/limbs that are either down or at risk of falling.

Beware of downed wires and do not touch them. Please keep children away from wires and from under trees.
