GEORGETOWN — Acting Chief Chuck Savage is pleased to announce that the Georgetown Fire Department has launched a Community Connect program to help better serve community members in the event of an emergency.
Community Connect’s safe and secure online platform allows community members to provide valuable information about their home or business to aid first responders during emergency response efforts.
Information that community members can choose to share includes the number of occupants of a home; functional needs of occupants like hearing, visual or mobility impairments; information about pets or livestock; structural details including bedroom locations; and more.
Community members should note that first responders only have access to this information at the time of an emergency response.
“We are always looking for ways to better serve the residents of Georgetown. For this reason, we are rolling out a new program to protect our community, which we believe will be very effective,” Acting Chief Savage said. “Providing important information about your home or business before an emergency has the potential to help save lives and property, and we encourage all community members to take advantage of this platform.”
The program is free of cost. Interested residents can sign up here. Business owners can sign up here.
