Town capitalizes on the use of social media

Dear fellow Hanoverians:
During the recent storm, the Town of Hanover found significant value
in the use of social media. As “Around Town on the Web” (ATOTW)
readers know, the Hanover Emergency Management Agency kept the public
informed through the use of Twitter, and was able to successfully keep
us all updated via our smartphones, even if we were without power.
The Town also started a Facebook page prior to the storm but that has
not yet been mentioned here on ATOTW. Please consider “friending”
the town on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/#!/HanoverMA
. In addition to the previously mentioned Hanover Emergency
Management (@HanoverEMA) Twitter feed found at www.twitter.com

, the town now also has a general info Twitter feed @HanoverMA .
Congratulations to Town Manager Troy Clarkson for making good use of
technology to keep us all connected (it’s like music to this ATOTW
writer’s ears!). A REALLY big shout out also goes to Hanover
Emergency Management Agency Director and Fire Chief Jeff Blanchard for
taking the time to pull together simply outstanding pre-storm
preparation information…and helping me to help all of you! Have I
mentioned lately that together we make this town great?!
