IMPORTANT STORM INFORMATION
BRANFORD, CT
March 13, 2018

Another storm is upon us. Please avoid parking on the streets to help our public works clear the roads more quickly and efficiently. Parking restricted.

During and immediately after all snow- and ice storms, no motor vehicle shall be found parked on the even-numbered side of the street, unless otherwise ordered by the Board of Selectmen, whether or not in a parking space, nor shall such motor vehicle be found parked in such manner as to interfere with and/or hamper the effective sanding of ice or removal of snow from the streets and highways of the Town of Branford.
Also, we are anticipating more power outages.

Please stay away from downed wires and report them to EVERSOURCE as soon as possible. We will try to keep you updated as much as possible on power outages as much as possible throughout the storm.

Stay clear of power lines

Stay away from downed wires and fallen trees that could have wires caught in them.

Don’t touch anything or anyone that’s touching a downed wire.

Assume all wires are energized.

Know where power lines are at all times.

Contacting an overhead wire with your body or a conductive object like a ladder, pole or roofing material can cause serious injury or death. Accidents can happen even without contact, so always maintain a safe distance of at least 10 feet.
