Dear fellow Hanoverians:

South Shore Habitat for Humanity has returned to Hanover and they want your

After a long, cold winter, foundations have been poured and construction
has begun on two South Shore Habitat for Humanity homes on Center Street.
South Shore Habitat depends on friends and neighbors to volunteer on nearly
every aspect of its operation. Volunteer opportunities include construction
and non-construction roles, supporting activities like community outreach,
development and fundraising.

If you are interested in learning about volunteer opportunities, the next
South Shore Habitat for Humanity Hanover Local Partnership Committee
Meeting (Hanover LPC) will be held June 4 at 6:30 p.m. at the First
Congregational Church, Riley Hall, 17 Silver Street, Hanover. Subsequent
meetings will be held the first Wednesday of each month.

South Shore Habitat for Humanity is a 501c3 non-profit organization
dedicated to delivering simple, decent, affordable homes in partnership
with families in need. Based in Weymouth, it serves 35 cities and towns
south and southwest of Boston. Founded in 1986 as an independent,
non-profit organization, South Shore Habitat works together with families,
volunteers, congregations, and community and business leaders to help local
families living in inadequate housing move into simple, decent, affordable
homes of their own. Since its inception, the organization has built 53
homes and provided housing for more than 94 adults and 187 children.

FBI partners with local public safety officials at the Mall

Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The Boston Division of the FBI, Hanover Police Department, Hanover Fire
Department, The Hanover Mall Management CBL & Associates Inc., and Mall
Public Safety Universal Protection Services LLC, Department of Homeland
Security (DHS), Massachusetts State Police, and Metropolitan Law
Enforcement Council (MetroLEC) hosted a training exercise to simulate a
complex attack in a public venue. The exercise began on Thursday, May 15,
at 11:30 p.m. at The Hanover Mall and was successfully completed overnight.

Nationally, the FBI and DHS are partnering with state and local law
enforcement, fire, and emergency medical services (EMS) and various private
sector partners to conduct exercises as part of the final phase of the
Complex Mall Attack initiative, which was developed to promote
preparedness. In 2013, all FBI field offices hosted facilitated discussions
with public safety and private sector partners that focused on
preparedness, response, and recovery efforts necessary to effectively
address a complex attack. The FBI is committed to strengthening public
safety and private sector partnerships necessary to protect the United
States and its citizens.

Hanover Chief of Police Walter L. Sweeney said, “In an effort to best
prepare for responding to critical incidents in the community, the Hanover
Police Department welcomed the opportunity to work with our federal, state,
regional, and local law enforcement and public safety partners. Our
continuing partnership with The Hanover Mall provided a realistic venue for
the training exercise. This exercise has strengthened the Hanover Police
Department’s ability to respond to and coordinate public safety efforts
during a critical incident.”

Boston@ic.fbi.gov .
