A small group of older Eaton residents have been working together to improve their odds of being able to remain in their homes as long as possible, by connection to each other and resources; education; and mutual assistance and support. They want to broaden involvement and have put together a speaker series. The next session will be held on October 9th. Please spread the word about the series.

The Citizen Assistance Registry for Emergency Services program allows individuals to register medical conditions along with other important information that can impact the 911 call under their phone number. When 911 receives a phone call from a registered telephone number of a C.A.R.E.S. Individual, the medical condition(s), home address, and other information submitted by the account holder is displayed on the 911 telecommunicator’s computer screen and can be shared with first responders so they can have a better understanding of the emergency before they even arrive on scene.

In addition to Town of Eaton permits, your project may require one or more permits from the NH Department of Environmental Services (Example: Wetlands Bureau, Shoreland, Wastewater). For projects that do not require a permit, there may be guidelines that you must follow during construction and/or land alteration. It is the responsibility of the property owner and contractor to understand all local, state and federal laws for any given project. This Got Permits? chart is intended to include the most common project types.
