From Michael R. Cassidy Fire Chief and Emergency Management Director

Emergency Preparedness experts agree that the best way to protect yourself from severe weather is to have advanced warning of the storm and, if you live in an area likely to be severely impacted, evacuate to a safe location before the worst of the storm.

While there are countless lists available online detailing items that can ease an evacuation, preparing a Go

Bag for older adults with more specialized medical needs and limited mobility presents its own challenges.

Experts suggest packing enough supplies in a Go Bag to last an individual three days; including water, food and medication, as well as additional items like weather radios, flashlights and batteries, and clothing. These items are all useful, but a Go Bag can become impractically heavy as you add non‐essential items.

One way to avoid over packing is to divide your items into two smaller bags – one with light, essential items you must have at all times (medical supplies, identification, short‐term supplies and communication/ legal materials), and a second bag with bulkier items (clothing, comfort and heavier supplies) that, while useful, can be left behind if forced to move quickly.

Any 􏰀me you repack a Go Bag, be sure to test the weight and imagine you are going to the airport: can you reasonably carry these items for several hours?

Drug Take Back Program

The Holliston Police Department works in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to collect unwanted or unused medications. The Holliston Police Department has a large receptacle for these drugs located in the public lobby between the training room and public interview room. The receptacle is green and metal. The purpose of the program is for the public to have the ability to safely discard unwanted medications and keep them out of unwanted hands.

One type of medication to get rid of is expired

medications because they can become dangerous once they go past their expiration date. Another medication to discard would be unused medications. An example of this would be if your doctor told you to stop a certain medication prior to it being finished. It is important to bring these medications in for you and your loved ones.

Once you bring your medications to the station,

deposit them in the receptacle. If you used a bag to bring the medications to the station, we politely ask you take your bag with you. The only medications we do not take are the following: Lotions, Sharps (knife, scalpel, etc..) Needles, Inhalers, Ointments, or any kind of Liquid. If the receptacle is full, tell the dispatcher on duty so we can empty it. The process to empty it takes a bit and we politely ask you to return another day to try to deposit your medication.

On April 30, 2022, between 10 am - 2 pm we will have three officers on duty to assist with the drug take back program. This is our big day where we try to accommodate everyone coming to the station.

Thanks for reading and be safe.
