Some resources for Hurricane Irene in the City of Cambridge...

Stay safe, everyone. I just ran into Roy, the homeless guy in my neighborhood, and he seemed to think he could hang out in a coffee shop until the storm blows over. I told him about the shelter at the Peabody School on Rindge Ave. (There's also one at the King Open School on Cambridge St.)

I've made a list of useful (for Cambridge and MA residents) Hurricane Irene city phone numbers, links, Twitter feeds to follow, and more, and posted them here:

I just got a call from Cambridge's new CodeRed phone alert system, as well. You can add your cell phone (or get your number put on a Do Not Call) list, by following the various instructions on the city website, here: http://www.cambridgema.gov/AlertNetwork

Local folks, stay dry and out of the wind!
