The Town of Tisbury will be testing the Emergency Notification System on Thursday, June 30, at 6 p.m. Please be advised that this is only a test of the system and in no way represents an actual emergency. Should there be an actual emergency the message would clearly define the nature of the emergency.

The purpose of the test is to ensure that in the case of an emergency in which there is a need to disseminate critical emergency-related information, the town wants to be certain that the system works as designed.

Instead of writing from the heart, on Wednesday, June 29 at 5:30 p.m. Nancy Aronie will be talking from the heart.
