The registry, SmartPrepare, allows residents to register their families and create an online profile for preparedness, the statement said. Registration should not take long to complete.

“Remember, this tool will allow us to better serve you during a crisis; but, it only works if you take the first step and sign-up,” the statement said, adding that the Office of Emergency Management is always looking for tools to help keep residents informed.

For those who have questions or concerns regarding SmartPrepare, town officials will be meeting with residents from 1 to 2 p.m. April 4 at the Lapham Community Center.
