Food Safety Tips During a Power Outage: 


Storm Ready Ideas

  • Clear a path in the snow to direct water from houses.
  • Clean storm drains in the street when possible.
  • Charge cell phones.
  • Make sure sump pumps are operating properly.
  • Gas for generators.
  • Raise items off floors in basements.
  • Clear snow off roofs if possible.

  • Stay away from all downlines even if power is off,
  • Help us, Help you!

    • With the coming storm, the North Andover Fire Department asks residents and business owners to keep fire hydrants in mind when clearing snow. Having clear access to a hydrant at a building fire is an essential part of their ability to extinguish a fire quickly. Please clear your nearest fire hydrant to keep you and your neighbors safe!
