Hurricane Sandy Alert: Voluntary Evacuations Anticipated in Parts of Guilford

After a late night Emergency Management Team meeting, First Selectman Mazza told Guilford Patch that "Residents South of the Railroad Tracks in Guilford should anticipate a voluntary evacuation at a minimum."

"Our team will reconvene for another meeting late Sunday morning and will have more details at that time," he continued.

"In the case of any type of evacuation, we will try to give residents enough warning so they can mobilize in the daylight," Mazza continued. "If any resident needs immediate information they can call the Guilford Dispatch Center. I encourage residents to check our town website for updates."

The Town Website issued this official message:

At this time, the Town is advising all citizens to check the Town website and Facebook page and GCTV for updates regarding Guilford storm preparations. Residents living south of the railroad tracks should anticipate a voluntary evacuation later tomorrow at a minimum. There will be further updates tomorrow, but anyone needing immediate information can call the Town's dispatch center at 203-453-8000. If you have not already done so, please get your storm preparation kits together now.
