Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Hope you are home safe and sound in preparation for the storm. Our
Emergency Management folks here in Hanover are asking that people “Shelter
in Place”. The Governor and the Town Manager have both declared a State of
Emergency, there is a parking ban beginning at 8 p.m., and a travel ban
beginning at 12 midnight tonight.

Town Hall and Hanover Schools are both closed tomorrow, Tuesday, January
27th. The best way to stay on top of urgent Town storm news is to follow
the town’s Twitter page @HanoverMA and/or friend the Facebook page at
HanoverMA.

Power outages should be reported to National Grid at (800) 465-1212.
Downed power lines should be reported by calling 911. If your home is
uninhabitable due to damage and you have no place else to go, please go to
the Town Shelter at Hanover High School. The shelter will also open for
warming if you lose power and are unable to tolerate the cold. If you need
transportation to the shelter, call the Hanover Police Business line at
(781) 826-3231. Overnight sheltering will be done at a regional location.

Stay warm and stay safe. Make sure you care about each other. Check on
your elderly neighbors. It’s simply what we do here in Hanover.

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Hanover Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier announced today that the Town
of Hanover has successfully implemented changes she recommended last year
to the process the town’s boards and committees use to notify the public
of upcoming meetings and related agendas. “Gone are the days of posting
paper meeting notices on bulletin boards that nobody reads or has easy
access to. This has been a terrific collaborative effort across the entire
town. The Board of Selectmen passed the new policy last August. Boards
and committees have been practicing and training how to post meetings on
the town’s website since last fall. Tom Nee, the Computer Coordinator,
has done yeoman’s work to add scores of new web page administrators to
the town’s rolls and assist them with the technical issues. We’ve
distributed training materials and held a training session. Town employees
and committee volunteers have patiently learned how to navigate their way
through the technical steps involved. The Commonwealth’s Division of
Open Government has been notified. And on January 1st, 2015 we went
live,” announced Harder-Bernier.

Residents are encouraged to navigate to the front page of the town’s
website, found at www.hanover-ma.gov , and click on the calendar icon on
the right hand side. There they will find meeting notices and agendas for
every public body in Hanover that is meeting in the near future. All of
the requirements of the Open Meeting Law will still apply, such as 48
weekday hours’ notice will be given, and agendas will be attached.
“Residents of Hanover will be able to easily access important information
that will help them to engage in the process of running our town,” said
Harder-Bernier. “The information will be available 24 hours a day, 7
days a week, and will be yet another transparent window into our
government.”

In addition to this new “alternate meeting posting” process, the Town
has also added a new computer kiosk outside the Town Clerk’s Office for
residents who might not have access to a computer. “There are still
people in town who do not have access to a computer, and even those with
computers might have technical issues that prevent them from accessing the
information on any given day,” noted Harder-Bernier. “I am delighted
to further announce that a public access computer terminal is now also
available here outside my office during normal business hours. Come check
it out!”

For more information about the new meeting posting process, residents are
encouraged to contact Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier at (781)
826-5000, x 1079 or catherine.harderbernier@hanover-ma.gov , or simply go
on the town’s website at www.hanover-ma.gov .

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Town of Hanover residents are reminded that the 2015 “Street Listing
Questionnaire”, more commonly known as the town’s census, has been
mailed to all households and needs to be returned as soon as possible to
the Town Clerk/Board of Registrar’s Office in Hanover Town Hall.
Senior Registrar Nancy Goldthwait noted that the census is important for a
number of reasons. “Hanover Police and Fire Departments need to know who
is living in a residence so that they can respond appropriately in case of
an emergency, the correct tally of persons is necessary for voting
purposes, and so that Hanover receives adequate state funding based on
population,” Goldthwait said.

Town Clerk and member of the Board of Registrars Cathy Harder-Bernier
added, “it is important that you promptly review your form, make changes
as needed, and sign and return it to the Town Clerk/Registrar’s Office –
even if all the information is correct. Forms may be returned by mail or
dropped off at Town Hall. There is even a mail slot in the front door of
Town Hall that allows for after-hours drop-offs.”

“Help the town to save on postage and avoid having to do a second mailing
to your home by returning your census today,” said Goldthwait.

Further information about the town’s census may be obtained by going to
the Town Clerk’s page of the Town website at
http://www.hanover-ma.gov/town-clerk/pages/street-list-and-census , by
calling the Board of Registrar’s Office at (781) 826-5000 x1082 or by
e-mailing nancy.goldthwait@hanover-ma.gov or
catherine.harderbernier@hanover-ma.gov .

Misplaced your form? Blank forms are available on the Town Clerk’s
webpage at
http://www.hanover-ma.gov/sites/hanoverma/files/file/file/blank_census_form_2015.pdf
