Neighbors,

The city has asked all residents to "Shelter in Place". Shelter in places which basically means stay inside, lock doors, and do not let in any other than clearly identifiable law enforcement officers. 

If you do, please contact boston@ic.fbi.gov or 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324), prompt #3

Please share far and wide!

Dear Neighbors, 

This has been a tough week but your generosity to host survivors displaced by the Boston Marathon Bombing is a true testament to goodness of human kind. Thank you.

What we anticipate will be needed next is housing for the…

Please share this post far and wide to let our out of town Marathoners and guests know they have a place to say if they've been displaced. Also, this resource will be critical in the coming days for out-of-town family members and friends visiting loved ones injured in the explosions.

Neighbors,

We'd appreciate it if you took a couple moments to tell us what tell what you think is working well about SnowCrew and where we need to focus our attention to make it better. 

Here is an idea of the kind of feedback we are looking for:

2. If you signed up to be notified when someone near you requests help, how…
