City, Red Cross Closing Emergency Shelter

The American Red Cross in New Hampshire and the City of Nashua partnered to open an emergency shelter yesterday at Nashua High School North.

Now that power has been restored in much of the area, shelter residents are able to return to their homes. The Red Cross and the City of Nashua have determined that shelter and feeding needs have been successfully met for the residents who lost power.

Shelter workers have met with each person or family in the shelters to be sure that they are headed back to warm homes or have other arrangements for lodging. The Nashua High School North emergency shelter will be closed on Friday, Nov. 28, at 4 p.m. The Red Cross and Nashua emergency management staff worked closely together to open and manage the regional shelter 24 hours a day, welcoming anyone who needed a warm place to stay, helping them get settled, serving three meals each day, and offering comforting words. Anyone needing further assistance as a result of this storm may call the New Hampshire resource information number, 2-1-1.

City Emergency Management will provide you with additional information via nashuanh.gov/emergency, Government Access Channel 16 TV, and our Facebook and Twitter accounts @NashuaOEM.

If you or someone you know needs Red Cross assistance, please call 1-800-464-6692. The Red Cross in New Hampshire is also updating social media sites with safety tips and updated response information. To stay connected, visit facebook.com/nhrecross and twitter.com/nhredcross.
