From NECN:
With this severe weather, some of our vulnerable neighbors may be at risk: please take time to visit neighbors and check in with those who may need some assistance.
If you have the ability and time, please check on single parent families, young parent families, elderly, injured, disabled and frail neighbors to determine if they have food, water, heat, medicines, etc.
Help as much as you are able. If your neighbors need assistance that you cannot offer, and their health is in jeopardy, please call 911. Once the dispatcher determines that this is indeed an emergency, service can be dispatched. If not, you will be routed to the non-emergency number. Please do not hang up; be patient with the process.
