A Message from the Town: Guilford Prepares to Handle the Impact of the Storm

The Town of Guilford just sent out the following press release on their preparations:

The Town of Guilford is preparing to handle the impact of the storm.

Snow Removal is a Priority

As we are expecting heavy snow fall, please be mindful as we will be clearing the roads on a continuous basis.

We ask to you to stay off the roads, if possible.

The Town Parking Ban will be in-place.

Water Preparedness

We remind you to stock up water, in bottle form and filling tubs or extra containers.

With the expected below freezing temperatures, we will not be able to supply water for pick-up as we have in the past.

Community Center

The Community Center remains OPEN, providing staff can get there safely.

IF a sustained power failure occurs, we will open as an Emergency Shelter.

However, that has not been implemented as yet.

Town Hall 

Monitor Town Website www.ci.guilford.ct.us , Facebook, local media and radio.

Call 203 453 8000 if you have any questions.

Guilford Public Schools

GPS are CLOSED today for all classes and activities.

Additional information will be available through the school communication vehicles concerning weekend activities.

SAFETY REMINDER – GENERATOR Operation

Please remember to only operate generators outdoors, well clear of enclosed spaces, including enclosed garages.

A minimum of 20’ should be maintained from enclosed spaces so Carbon Monoxide gas will not get trapped inside homes or businesses.

Be especially careful with Propane Tanks, and extinguishing candles before going to bed.

Stay up-to-date on the storm in town with Guilford Patch's Winter Storm Center.
