The town of Tisbury’s emergency management plan could soon join the age of smartphones and social media.
During a series of budget reviews Tuesday, the Tisbury board of selectmen approved a $35,000 budget for emergency management director Micah Agnoli and his assistant Christine Colarusso to spend 10 hours a week combined, revamping the town’s emergency management plan.
The budget requires approval of town meeting voters. “We’re 24 years behind in Tisbury …” Fire Chief John Schilling said, his analysis interrupted by selectman Jeff Kristal.
Schilling said the budget covers compensation and training so the town can catch up. “It’s not a quick thing to sit down and put this emergency plan together,” he said.
