Join us on Tuesday, January 25th at 6:30 pm to jumpstart the revision process of the Williams County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan! ⚠📃
It is vital to have community involvement and participation from every sector as this plan is being updated to show the most current vulnerabilities to the county and to develop mitigation measures that can be implemented to reduce or eliminate them. Types of hazards include: winter/summer weather, infectious diseases, flooding etc.
Have you taken a look at your roof lately? ❗️Check your vents❗️
The recent snow combined with frigid temps may have clogged up your sewer vent! Clogged vents can lead to a backup of sewer gas in your home, which can be very dangerous.
Climbing up on your roof to clear it out? Practice ladder safety, watch your step, and have a spotter.
