Kiwanis April 2 Luncheon Meeting Program: "Emergency Preparedness in Chatham Borough" by Bruce Harris, Chatham Borough Mayor.

Dick Plambeck (left), former President of Kiwanis, introduced Bruce Harris (right), Chatham Borough Mayor. Bruce spoke about “Emergency Preparedness in Chatham Borough”.

Given the issues related to the recent storms, the Borough has taken the initiative to prepare for future emergencies. Steps are being taken to provide back-up electric power and to more quickly repair damage. Also, an Emergency Notification System has been implemented to promptly deliver information to citizens when it is available. Bruce gave a demo of the on-line system.

Members of the audience enthusiastically applauded the informative talk and the progress made by the Borough toward withstanding future emergencies.
