Flood Readiness and Voyent Alert!
With spring just around the corner, we are keeping a close eye on the potential for flooding. This weekend and early next week, the forecast calls for warmer than normal temperatures and rain.
This week, I met with Essex County Emergency Services, the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES), and the Au Sable Forks Fire Department to discuss the risk of ice jams and flooding. Our goal was to ensure all agencies are on high alert and to stage necessary evacuation equipment in the event it is needed.
We will send all critical updates via Voyent Alert! If you have not enrolled yet, please sign up today to stay informed:
