TEMPERATURES RISING

With Betterton Day's Theme being "B-Town Now and Then" the B-Blogger couldn't think of a more appropriate way then bringing back  that great song "Temperature Rising" by Martha & the Vandella's  to share the news from Kristin McMenamin , our emergency preparedness planner from the Kent County Office of Emergency Services.  Over the next several days temperatures are expected to climb way beyond the usual.  In fact today the thermometer may reach 113 degrees and Friday and Saturday at 107 and 101 degrees respectively. It isn't until Sunday that more reasonable temperatures will prevail. Kristin wants all residents and guests of the Jewel of the Chesapeake to make plans and be prepared.  Ask yourself where can I go to cool off? What will I do if the power grid goes and those who have air conditioning suddenly don't?  What about any animals or pets that I have?  What about my neighbors who may have asthma, heart disease or just aren't as young as they used to be?  These questions and many more can be addressed by the Office of Emergency Services.  Contact the Betterton Town Office today and tomorrow for helpful tips and recommendations or call the Office of Emergency Services at 410 778-7472.   Stay comfortable and be safe!
