It is with that same enthusiasm that we release an updated edition of the Community Partners Directory in a user-friendly format. This new edition features a list of all ORI programs with a brief description of each, followed by a list of the providers that offer each program. After, the directory lists each provider more thoroughly, including their contact information and location. It is our hope that this directory will allow community partners and stakeholders to collaborate in order to best serve the immigrants and refugees residing in Massachusetts. Every effort has been made to ensure that this directory is accurate and up to date. This second edition is special because it includes ORI’s new partners for the newest addition to ORI’s portfolio of programs, the Financial Literacy for Newcomers (FLNP).

    MEMA REPORTS MEMA REPORTS is a monthly newsletter produced by the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) to help keep the Public Safety Community of Massachusetts better informed about the day’s Emergency Management issues. MEMA REPORTS also appears on the MEMA website: www.mass.gov/mema. November 26, 2018 Volume 17, Issue 7 Special Edition Covering August – October 2018 Major Gas Line Incident in Lawrence, Andover, North Andover At approximately 4:00 PM on Thursday September 13th, 2018, Columbia Gas over-pressurized its low pressure gas line servicing some 8,570 meters in the communities of Andover, North Andover and Lawrence. This over-pressurization caused three explosions and 60-80 structure fires and destroyed 15 homes, and rendered an additional 19 uninhabitable. To prevent further explosions or fires, National Grid shut off electric service to approximately 18,000 electric customers in Lawrence, North Andover, and Andover at the request of local and state public safety officials. Each community ordered an evacuation of all residents in the impacted area. During the emergency, communities requested residents to shut their gas service off via emergency notifications and social media. In addition to the 8,570 impacted customers, an additional 10,000 residences in Andover and North Andover had gas service shut off. Because these additional lines and meters were not impacted by the over-pressurization, their gas services was restored in the week following the incident. The incident, which damaged gas mains, lines, and appliances, left the 8,570 impacted customers without gas service and therefore without heat and hot water, and gas appliances, including gas 1 stoves and gas dryers.
