Sharon, MA — January 22nd — A storm update hosted by the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency brought together police and Department of Public Works officials with Sharon Fire Department leadership. Ahead of the anticipated weather event, the briefing included prediction data and recommendations for resource coordination.
Before significant storms, state emergency officials frequently conduct regional calls to assess communication protocols, equipment preparedness, and staffing arrangements. These updates are used by local agencies to prepare equipment, modify staffing levels, and plan utility response and road maintenance. Early cooperation between public works, fire, and police, according to officials, helps preserve access to essential services and guarantees emergency response coverage during the storm.
