In our efforts to provide a safe environment, Hamlet houses displaying an orange and blue emblem are designated "Safe Houses" for children in case of an emergency. We encourage everyone to:
Lock your homes, garage, and car doors
Do not leave any items in your cars when parked outside.
Report incidents when they happen (info listed below)
Keep porch lights on at night
If you have questions, please reach out to Terry Hatami (Hamlet Safety Chair)
