4/13/20 - COVID-19 Updates and Resources

The Jackson Emergency Management Department would like to share the following updates and information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic:
 
Even in a time of physical distancing, in our work and daily lives we all have opportunities to interact with children and families in our community. Please review the COVID-19 Family Well-Being Guide just released by the NH Department of Health and Human Services, Division for Children’s, Youth, & Families for guidance on how you can look out for children and families’ safety and wellbeing during COVID-19. This guide was created in response to the challenges many New Hampshire families may experience during the COVID-19 emergency, including financial instability, food insecurity, and family stress. Helping children and families get the support they need before child abuse or neglect occurs is just as critical. Governor Sununu has implemented several Emergency Orders to provide financial relief and expand the supports available to New Hampshire families, and we are relying on our community helpers to serve as a link between our families and the resources they need. The Family Well-Being Guide can be found on the Jackson Emergency Department page on the Jackson Town website: https://www.jackson-nh.org/emergency-management/pages/covid-19-novel-coronavirus
