Easton Fire Department: Storm Update #2

Press release from the Easton Fire Department:

October 27, 2021

As of now, Easton has 27 road closures and 5855 addresses (57% of Easton) without power. National Grid has crews in Easton working to clear wires to get roads open. We do not have restoration times yet but the process has begun. Easton DPW, Fire, Police crews are working hard to get the town back up and running as soon as possible. Easton Fire has responded to over 50 emergencies in the last 12 hours. We anticipate this being a multi-day restoration and clean-up effort.

To report a power outage, you can go to https://www1.nationalgridus.com/outages or call 1-800-465-1212.

Please do not get close to or attempt to move down wires. You should always assume all wires are electric and that they are live. If you have wires down, please call 911 and let the trained professionals help you.

Be sure to use caution around trees when outside. The trees have been weakened by the storm and can come down suddenly.

If being without power overnight tonight would require you to seek sheltering assistance, please call 508-230-0750 and let us know. If you call after 4 PM please call Easton Police at 508-230-3322 and press zero. They will get you in contact with our sheltering staff.

We will continue to send out updates throughout the day.
