A hot line has been established to answer calls for downed tree limbs, flooding, waste water emergencies and other storm related damages. The storm hotline number is 978-281-9785. The Hotline will be staffed from 9 am to 9 pm on Sunday. In the after hours, the call will be transferred to the business line of the Gloucester Police Department.
Please do not call 911 to report power outages, please call the National Grid power outage report line at 1-800-465-1212.
For all emergencies, please call 911.
Please do not place your trash out today. There have been reports of trash bags being swept by the strong winds in several places in town. DPW advises us that normal trash pickup will resume tomorrow.
Emergency Operations Center is open and has been fully staffed since 9:00 am this morning with representatives from all of the city’s major departments as well as the Gloucester CERT team. All city functions are being monitored and resources are being deployed as necessary. We are experiencing some power outages and downed trees. Atlantic Road from Moorland to Grapevine has been closed due to the high tide. We ask that you limit movement around the city unless necessary, to allow the emergency crews to clear roadways and address downed trees and power lines.
If you see catch basins clogged with leaves or debris, if possible, please clear and please rake the debris downstream.
The Red Cross will be handling all sheltering at the Salem High School on Highland Avenue.
Good Morning Gloucester
