Late this afternoon, the Town of Portsmouth posted storm preparation info on the Town web site, the Portsmouth Emergency Management site, and the EMA Facebook page. According to the posting:

"Portsmouth Town Administrator John Klimm held a late Friday afternoon meeting with Town department leaders and emergency management personnel to insure that the Town is prepared for anything that Hurricane Sandy might deliver to Portsmouth."

Thanks to Mr. Klimm for making this happen.

And Portsmouth EMA has a Twitter feed as well, and has suggested the hash tag #Sandy02871. If you're on Twitter, we can all use that hash tag to share situation reports and communicate directly with EMA during the storm.

I would urge everyone in Portsmouth, especially my neighbors here in Island Park, to bookmark these sites. And to all the folks at Town Hall, thanks.
