Steps for Preparedness

In light of incidents we’ve faced recently — December’s ice storm and now an epidemic of swine flu, many have asked about steps we can take — as individuals and families, or as a community, to be prepared to face the special stresses these kinds of events can bring. None of us is truly expert in this area, but many of us have some background, resources, and experiences to share. Here are a few resources to help.

The 60th Birthday Clam Bake (September 2008) was a great success. Here are a few photos: by Russ Simon, by Dimitri Chernyshov

The Nor'easter of April 14–17, 2007, produced waves on Great Bay and exceptionally high tides. Here are a few of Cyn's and Cari's PHOTOS.

The Moody Point Water Station for the Great Bay Half Marathon (April, 2007) was a huge success on a perfect day. Thank you to all who made it possible — and to all who supplied cups after we ran out. Here are a few of Russ's PHOTOS.
