"Shelter In Place"

Amherst Town Hall closed at High Noon Friday, but the work had just begun for DPW, Police/Fire/Dispatch

DPW parking lot the morning after. All hands on deck, all night long. A remarkable job done.
Amherst Police Department was not inundated with calls as everyone took the Governor's advice and stayed in although Dispatch fielded numerous calls concerning the driving ban.
