🌧️ STORM SAFETY MESSAGE — MARTHA’S VINEYARD 🌊

A significant storm is expected to impact Martha’s Vineyard this weekend, bringing strong winds, heavy weather, and the potential for coastal flooding and hazardous travel conditions.

Five Corners in Vineyard Haven is especially vulnerable to flooding. This area has a history of becoming impassable during significant storms, which can create major challenges for residents, businesses, and emergency responders.

🚨 Please plan ahead and stay home unless travel is absolutely necessary.

If you do not need to be on the road, please stay home and allow emergency crews and public safety personnel to move safely throughout the community.

Please:
• Secure outdoor furniture, equipment, boats, and other loose items.
• Avoid driving through flooded roadways. Turn around, don’t drown.
• Keep vehicles out of areas known to flood, including Five Corners, when conditions deteriorate.
• Charge phones and emergency equipment before the storm arrives.
• Check on family members, neighbors, and anyone who may need additional assistance.
• Monitor official weather and emergency-management updates throughout the weekend.

Flooding can change quickly, and conditions on the Island can make emergency response and travel difficult.

The safest place during the worst of the storm is home. Please plan ahead, stay informed, and give our emergency crews the room they need to do their jobs safely.

Stay safe, Town of Tisbury and Martha’s Vineyard. 🌧️🚒🚑 Tisbury Police Department Tisbury Department of Public Works Tisbury Emergency Management
