AFTER THE HURRICANE

- Do not return to the Island until you are informed that it is safe to do so. Monitor AM Radio WXTC 1390 or FM97 (these frequencies broadcast simultaneously) or call the Town Emergency Communications Center on 768-9121. - Seek necessary medical care at a Red Cross disaster station or at a hospital. - Stay out of disaster areas. Unless you are authorized to help, your presence might hamper first aid and rescue personnel. - Drive carefully along debris-filled streets. Roads may be undermined and may collapse from the weight of your car. Slides along cuts may be hidden hazards. - Beware of loose or dangling wires. Report them immediately to emergency personnel. - Report broken sewer and water mains to utility or emergency personnel. - Prevent fires. Low water pressure may make firefighting impossible, at least difficult. - Check refrigerated food for spoilage if power has been off during the storm. If in doubt, destroy. - Stay away from river banks and streams. National Weather Service advisories will keep you informed on river flood stages. STAY ALERT, INFORMED
