Public Safety Meeting/Forum to Address October Storm and Power Outage

The Simsbury Board of Selectmen Public Safety Subcommittee will hold a special meeting and public forum to discuss Storm Alfred, receive public comment, and address any questions or concerns.

The forum will be held Thursday, December 15 at 7 p.m. at Eno Memorial Hall in the main auditorium.

“This is a great opportunity for us to debrief and discuss the devastating effects of the storm and the town's response,” said John K. Hampton, Deputy First Selectman and chairman of the Public Safety Subcommittee.

Hampton praised Simsbury's public safety officials, staff and volunteers who went into action during the crisis:

“We have an amazing team in place that is always ready for an emergency; everyone rose to the occasion and provided first-rate service to the community,” he said.

The subcommittee invites residents to come and share their personal experiences, ask questions or raise issues of concern.

“It is critical that we hear from citizens about what we can do better the next time. There are always lessons learned that can enhance our efforts in the future,” Hampton added.
