<div class=MsoNormal style="font-size:12pt;"><B><FONT size=5 face=Arial><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">Attached are two important documents that everyone is encouraged to read and assist with passing along to others. The recent storms that caused extended power outages have taught us all many things about how to prepare and stay save if there were to be similar storms in the future. After the last storm, I invited our staff and community partners to submit items for inclusion in a tip sheet for how to weather power outages. The attached documents grew out of the great feedback that I received. This first document is a tip sheet with many suggestions and ideas that will help you stay safe if the power goes out. The second attachment to this email includes a planning check list and also a listing of websites that offer many more suggestions on emergency preparation. So please visit these websites to learn more. I wish to particularly thank Stephen Thal of our board for his tireless commitment to emergency preparedness and also to Bob Bolasevich of the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Windsor</st1:place></st1:City> Fire Department for assisting Steve and I with reviewing and refining the items in the tip sheet.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></B></div>
