Tonight’s Historical Society presentation with author Linda Barth was canceled.

Fire Chief Christopher Mullin is advising residents to use a few safety tips with the snow:

Clear snow from fire hydrants so they are accessible to emergency services personnel during a storm.

Make sure dryer vents and direct vent furnaces are free of snow buidup in a snow drift. This can lead to carbon monoxide poisioning.

Refrain from using candles as an alternative to light in blackout, and use battery operated flashlights.

If you have a portable generator, don’t run it inside the house, including inside the basement or a garage , to protect from possible carbon monoxide poisoning.

Stay home if you don’t have to be on the roads.

Livingston officials will update residents on storm response via Facebook or through the SwiftReach messaging system.
