Safety Reminders
For those that must travel during the storm, please remember to clear the snow from vehicles before getting on the road, take it slow and leave plenty of room for plows and public safety vehicles.
Our public safety personnel will be actively addressing storm impacts throughout town. By staying away from highly impacted, risky areas, you can help make their jobs significantly easier.
Contact Public Safety Dispatch at 207-439-1638 if you see:
- Downed trees – due to snow-melt saturating the ground, trees are more susceptible to falling from high winds. Call if you see a downed tree along the road that may impede evacuations or Fire and Police access.
- Downed Power Lines – never touch a downed line, even if you think it is not a power line or is not charged or “live”. Kittery Fire and CMP will assess downed lines and determine how to safely move them.
