Evacuation Instructions for Severe Weather Emergencies In most cases, we expect that remaining at home will be sufficient to protect residents from most weather related emergencies. However, incidents involving severe weather such as hurricanes could cause a need to evacuate some neighborhoods. You will be notified via Reverse 9-1-1 (telephone), CT Alert, or the Emergency Alerting System of a need to evacuate as well as open shelter locations. Where to Go? If opened for a weather emergency, the Ledyard High School Gymnasium will normally be utilized as the Town's central evacuation point for severe weather problems. However, at times, we will use a regional shelter in Groton or Norwich depending on the weather problem. The shelter being opened will be announced on local TV and Radio stations as well as by use of the Reverse 9-1-1 system (telephone). You may also verify the shelter is open by calling the Emergency Operations Center at 464-8705. If the high school is inaccessible, the Ledyard Middle School will be utilized. The Ledyard High School is located at the intersection of Gallup Hill Road and Colonel Ledyard Highway. |
