The Town Hall will be closed to the public until further notice, with only officials and staff allowed in the building. Requests for services and information can be made by phone, mail, or email. All meetings are cancelled at this time, though plans are in place for facilitating meetings electronically. Hampton Elementary School and Parish Hill Middle/High School, along with other area schools, remain closed as well. The Department of Public Works and the Transfer Station continue to remain functioning.

An information and resource team, with Jamie Boss appointed as the Emergency Preparedness Officer, has been assembled to be responsible for providing residents with pertinent information during the Covid-19 emergency. The initial venues for distributing information are the “Nextdoor” email exchange, and Facebook’s “Hampton Covid-19 Emergency Resource Team” page in order to facilitate immediate announcements. Eventually information will be on the town website as well.

First Selectman Allan Cahill asks residents to “Please be sensible not exposing frail seniors or people with other health conditions to respiratory illness. Neighbors, friends and family should pitch in with groceries, supplies, and moral support when at risk people need to avoid public spaces,” closing his message with #Hampton no other place to shelter in place.
