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.

LAND RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PROJECTS
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.
