Town of Southborough, MA Emergency Management Agency 21 Main Street, Southborough, Massachusetts, 01772 (508) 485-3235 / (508) 485-3887-fax In July 2009, the Town of Southborough became the 9th community in Massachusetts to receive full certification as a StormReady Community. This is a national certification granted jointly by the National Weather Service and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). StormReady is a program that is designed to enhance a community’s awareness, preparedness, response, recovery, emergency public notification and public education related to hazardous weather events. In the process it also enhances the community’s overall emergency management plan, increasing the safety of citizens at all levels and phases of significant emergencies and disasters. Many New Englanders do not realize but our area of the country is susceptible to every type of weather hazard, except sand storms. The most significant danger facing our area, however, is the public’s lack of first-hand experience which leads to a false sense of security and immunity from disasters. The fact is that weather disasters will occur in New England and without a full understanding of the consequences and taking steps now to prepare the results will be, well, disastrous. While the Town has developed an extensive StormReady preparedness and public notification plan, the best method to ensure the safety of you and your family is to become educated and prepared personally. Weather hazards, factual information and preparedness steps can be located all over the internet (including: www.Ready.gov , www.Mass.gov/MEMA , www.cdc.gov , & www.nws.noaa.gov ). We encourage everyone to take some time to become educated and prepared. Unfortunately, it is not feasible to explain the entire plan in detail within this press release; therefore we have decided to focus on the Public Notification Section only. The full StormReady Plan in its entirety is available at www.southboroughma.com and www.southboroughfire.org under the Emergency Management Section. There is also a printed copy for viewing available by contacting Neal Aspesi at the Southborough Emergency Management Agency, 21 Main Street, 508-485-3235 ext 437, naspesi@southboroughma.com. STORMREADY PUBLIC NOTIFICATION INFORMATION ON REVERSE SIDE "ENSURING COMMUNITY SAFETY THROUGH EDUCATION AND PREPAREDNESS" "ENSURING COMMUNITY SAFETY THROUGH EDUCATION AND PREPAREDNESS" SOUTHBOROUGH STORMREADY PUBLIC NOTIFIACTION INFORMATION Public Notification: There are three phases of public notification within the Town’s Plan. These are based on the threat level and danger to life safety. Phase I: Most Weather Warnings and Watches issued for the Southborough area will be posted on the Town’s Public Access Cable Television Stations (both Charter and Verizon) as either a full screen posting or scrolling message. Information will also be posted on the internet at www.southboroughfire.org (on the Main Page or under the Emergency Management section). Postings will include information on the Weather Watch/Warning Issued, Associated Hazards and Actions the public should take. Phase II: For more severe weather threatening the area the Town will additionally send out Warning Messages via the Town’s Reverse 9-1-1 phone system. Similar messages may also be sent out via the Public School’s Connect-Ed phone messaging system. Phase III: For weather that poses an imminent life safety threat to Southborough, the Town will activate the air horns located on the roof of the Fire Station on Main Street. Effective immediately, the air horns will only sound if there is a threat to public life safety and not to notify firefighters of calls as was their purpose in the past. Upon hearing the air horns, the public should immediately take shelter and access the Cable Television Stations or Internet Site as noted in Phase I above. If you do not have TV or Cable access or the power is out, take shelter in a small room in the inner most part of any building/home or basement (away from windows) until at least 30 minutes after skies clear or when notified by a Police or Fire Official. NOTE: DO NOT call 9-1-1 unless you have a true police, medical or fire emergency as the Emergency Communications Center only has one dispatcher who will be busy with ongoing incidents and unable to answer non-emergency questions. Post Event Safety: If a disaster occurs, be aware that many dangers continue to exist post disaster, including the following hazards: Electrical, Fire, Explosion, Carbon Monoxide, Collapse and Trip/Fall. Take personal steps to remain safe and follow all directions provided by emergency services. The Southborough Emergency Management Agency continues to strive in meeting its mission goal of ensuring the safety of the Community and Citizens of Southborough. The development of the Town of Southborough StormReady Plan will implement steps to help meet our mission. Unfortunately due to the limited staffing combined with the vastness in disaster types we cannot meet our mission alone. We strongly encourage the public to take the time and steps to become educated and prepare themselves (and family/business) to better ensure your own safety. If you have any questions, comments or are interested in additional information please contact Neal Aspesi, Director of Operation at the Southborough Emergency Management Agency, 21 Main Street, Southborough, MA 01772, 508-485-3235 ext. 437, naspesi@southboroughma.com. |

Time for the Life Jacket
Massachusetts Environmental Police Remind Citizens to Wear Life Jackets, Practice Safe Boating This Fall and WinterBOSTON – With fall weather almost here, the Massachusetts Environmental Police (MEP) remind boaters that state law requires canoeists and kayakers to wear a personal flotation device (PFD) at all times from September 15 through May 15. “Boaters should wear life jackets year-round, but during cool and cold weather months, it’s the law in Massachusetts,” MEP Director Aaron Gross said. “Wearing a life jacket could save you from an unwelcome visit from an enforcement officer, and - much more important – it could save your life.” The MEP point out that beautiful fall days mask water temperatures that are dangerously cold. If paddlers capsize or fall overboard, they can succumb within minutes to hypothermia (the lowering of a person’s internal body temperature), which deadens arms and legs and renders a victim unable to swim, paddle, or stay afloat. A related danger, the “cold-water-immersion-reflex” - whereby a victim, shocked by frigid water, involuntarily gasps and ingests a significant amount of water - can lead to death by drowning. Massachusetts boating regulations require that all persons aboard canoes and kayaks between September 15 and May 15 wear a Coast Guard-approved Type I, II, or III PFD at all times while a boat is underway. In addition, the Environmental Police recommend wearing a PFD as standard practice year-round, and remind boaters that children under 12 are required to wear PFDs in boats of all types throughout the year. While most Type I, II, and III lifejackets will not prevent hypothermia, they do give the victim one less thing to worry about: staying afloat. In the 13 fatal boating accidents in Massachusetts during 2008, 12 of the victims were not wearing life jackets. In the eight fatal boating accidents so far in 2009, six of the victims were not wearing life jackets. Nationally, hundreds of people drown in boating-related accidents each year, and eight out of every ten victims weren’t wearing life jackets at their time of death. Life jackets used for compliance with Massachusetts law must be approved by the United States Coast Guard with a clearly marked USCG approval number, in good and serviceable condition, and the correct size for the intended wearer. Boaters should frequently inspect a life jacket’s condition, looking for rips, tears, discoloration, weakened material, insecure straps or zippers, or labels that are not readable. In addition to wearing life jackets, officials urge boaters to take a boating safety course, operate boats only while sober, and make sure their boats have safety equipment onboard. Visit http://www.mass.gov/dfwele/dle/boatrvsafe.htm for links to the MEP boating course schedule, other approved course providers, and information about state boating laws. The Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs’ Office of Law Enforcement – also known as the Massachusetts Environmental Police (MEP) – is responsible for enforcing the Commonwealth’s fish and game and boating and recreational vehicle laws. MEP officers enforce laws and regulations related to the protection of natural resources and public parks and land; boat and recreational vehicle use; and hazardous waste disposal. MEP officers serve as stewards of the state’s natural resources, patrolling forests, parks, inland waterways and coastal waters throughout the Commonwealth. |

The Lewis Conservation Award will be presented to Rebecca Cutting of Sudbury, the Distinguished Public Service Award to Elizabeth Herland of Shrewsbury, Manager of the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service’s Eastern Massachusetts National Wildlife Complex, located in Sudbury, the Morgan Volunteer Award to A. Bradford Conant of Wayland, and the SVT Steward of the Land Award to long-time Northborough resident, Charles Bradley who has recently relocated to Woodstock, CT. “These four community leaders truly exemplify the spirit of the Sudbury Valley Trustee awards,” said Ron McAdow, Executive Director of Sudbury Valley Trustees. “They each have dedicated many hours of hard work in support of land conservation in our region, and we welcome this opportunity to recognize their contributions.” The Lewis Conservation Award is awarded to an individual who “toils in our local environmental vineyards and encourages others to do the same.” The Distinguished Public Service Award recognizes a public official who demonstrates environmental leadership. The Morgan Volunteer Award recognizes dedicated members who have given freely and unselfishly of their time, talents and resources. The Steward of the Land Award is presented to a member who is a model land steward. This year’s meeting will honor George Lewis, a founding member who along with six neighbors helped establish SVT over 55 years ago.

I vividly remember Soldiers coming
with her mom to pick her up out of the classroom. We traced the names
of the two soldiers that had lost their lives from my hometown. I had also
written as a class room project to several soldiers during their tour. I
continued writing to them after the project. Of the four that I'd continued
to write to, only one returned home. It was a very difficult time for
a soldier to return home during the Viet Nam Conflict but we opened our
house to the soldier I had written to and invited him to dinner when he
