News Briefs Woodstock revaluation begins QUEST STUDENTS SUCCEED IN COMPETITION WOODSTOCK — First Selectman Allan D. Walker Jr., recently provided details about the start of the revaluation process in Woodstock. Vision Government Solutions (VGSI) has been retained to assist the Assessor’s Office in completing the state-mandated revaluation of all real property located in the Town of Woodstock for the Oct. 1, 2016 Grand List. Data Collectors have already begun the task of inspecting individual properties. The data collection phase of the program is expected to be complete by summer 2016. A VGSI Data Collector will make an initial visit to each property to verify the information currently on file in the Assessor’s Office. The Data Collector will ask to briefly inspect the interior if an adult is at home. If no adult is available at the time the Data Collector visits the prop- erty, they will only measure the exterior of all buildings. If an interior inspection is not performed during the initial visit to the property, a second visit will be made after 5 p.m. or on a Saturday. If the inspection was still not completed, the property owner will then be notified by mail requesting they call VGSI to make Courtesy photos an appointment for an interior inspection.

The only way to truly insure equi- table assessments is with accurate infor- mation. Please be aware that the Data Collectors, who will be talking to property owners during the inspection period, do not deter- mine property values. Their only job is to collect and/or verify information on land and structures, including sketches and measurements of buildings.

PUTNAM — Staff at Day Kimball Hospital participated in a simulated emergency medication distribution on April 14 that will help the Connecticut Department of Health (DPH) to be better prepared to respond in the event of an infectious disease outbreak in the future. The simulated medication distribution was part of a larger week-long statewide Emergency Preparedness Medical Countermeasures exercise coordinated by the DPH’s Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response. The exercise tested the effectiveness of state and local emergency response system, including communications, resource allo- cation, and overall response coordination in the event of an infectious disease outbreak such as pandemic flu. During the exercise the DPH distributed simulated medication (actually Tic-Tacs) from a central point to eight points of distribution (POD’s) across the state, including Day Kimball Hospital. At the Hospital’s site, the team was able to dispense enough sim- ulated medications for 105 employees and their families in just an hour and a half, for a throughput average of better than one person per minute. This included forms comple- tion, a clinical review of each form, dispensing of the “medications” and a review of the medication information with each individual. The Northeast District Department of Health assisted in the planning and staffing of the drill, and observers from several outside agencies including the Connecticut and Rhode Island Departments of Public Health, CT Department of Consumer Protection, and CT Office of Emergency Services were on-hand to observe. The data collected will be Courtesy photo compiled by the state and will be used to better gauge mass dispensing capabilities and identify opportunities for improvement that would bolster this capability.
