As the Town of Easton’s Emergency Management Director, I urge all residents to be prepared for a major incident. During any type of disaster, either man-made or natural, the first step toward recovery is to be prepared prior to the incident. The second is to arm yourself with as much knowledge as possible in order to make informed decisions about your safety and that of your loved ones. Please visit the websites provided below to learn what you can do to be prepared.

Thank you,
Schuyler Sherwood
