We were out of power longer than any town. It is ridiculous that we are not in the disaster area.

we were w/o power for 9 days. We had to go stay with family in NH for that time. My husband had to come home every day on his way to work to make sure our pipes had not frozen. We both tried to speak with Unitil several times, we were told someone would call back.... no one ever did!!! Then they bill us (and everyone else) for electricity that we NEVER used!!!!

Historically small central ma towns seem to be short changed when funds from the state and local level are dispersed. It is not a fair practice. Our lives were disrupted properties damaged and local funds depleted by this storm as much if not more than some of towns who will be receiving FEMA and MEMA funding.

I can not believe that other cities and towns are getting aid while Ashby is not. Ashby went without power for almost 2 weeks. Unitil was undermanned, undermanaged, and unprepared for Mother Nature's wrath on Dec. 12th. Something needs to be done.

Every street that we traveled in our town had lines down, trees and branches down.
On my own property I had to clear a tree top before I could help my Mother who just lives up the street where she had a front window in house broken out - both storm and inside window. She got CO poisoning from the traffic outside he hous which the fire department had to monitor for a week.

12 days , 13 counting the night before. Many tree brances were removed from my residence to new fitchburg road by my family. Many still remain today.
Ashby is a small community and this clean up will be a burden to the town and towns people without some help from FEMA

Pepperell had a tremendous amount of damage from the ice storm - roads totally cut off by downed limbs and trees, power outages, fires on poles, accidents. The DPW, Emergency Management, Senior Center staff, town nurse and Police and Fire Departments worked nonstop for days, ensuring that the frail and elderly were cared for, the shelters were open and people had transportation to them, the roads were passable and sanded, and the myriad carbon monoxide calls were answered.

The town of Ashby is a small bedroom comunity with almost no comercial and no industrial bussness to support our tax base. Many of our citizens are retired and on fixed income.
Help is needed to restore thier homes and lives,some are still today with our heat becaues they have no financial resorce to make repairs.
We need help badly.
This disaster has a problem not seen in some of the recent disasters, THE COLD OF WINTER,SOMETIMES BELOW ZERO!!
PLEASE SEND THE HELP WE NEED

Mr. Eric Johnson, Townsend, MA, United States of America

Any assistance should be based on damage done to the immediate areas impacted. Basing assistance on the percentage or cost to a larger area is not fair or reasonable; there are virtually no disasters that follow state lines, county borders, or even towns for that matter. Federal assistance must have some criteria, but I think it should also have a contingency of 'and any adjacent towns'.

Erickson Rd looked as if a bomb had exploded on it. All the telephone poles were snapped in half and there were trees and limbs all over the place. We didn't get our power back until day 10! Thank God for the line crews from PA they are the ones who got us back on. Never saw a Unitil truck, I bet the big wigs were warm and cozy probably the first ones back on.
