Currently, UI has one Make Safe Truck, one Tree Truck, and two damage assessors working in Easton. Tonight there will be a Make Safe Truck and a Tree Truck in Easton. Easton Public Works and Parks and Recreation staff worked througout the day and some will be staying through the night.

UI has said they will issue a press release tomorrow morning giving their estimate for the global restoration time.

The Easton Senior Center is open as a warming station and will be open throughout the night. Cots are available.

Showers are available at Helen Keller Middle School today until 7pm today and tomorrow (Saturday) 7am - 11am. Access points will be posted. Showers are also available at Joel Barlow High School today until 8pm and tomorrow (Saturday) 7am until 5pm. You need to bring your own supplies.

Residents may get water at town hall. The spigot is to the left of the entrance to the police station.

Power strips have been set up in the lobby in front of the police station so residents can charge their devices. You will need your own charge cord.

We will update you as we have more information.

Thank you.
