Prudence Island dug out together.

Following the Blizzard of ’26, we want to recognize the commitment and hard work across our island community.

Thank you to the members of the Prudence Island Volunteer Fire Department who stood ready to respond at a moment’s notice. Your dedication to protecting our residents, even in severe conditions, does not go unnoticed.

We also extend our appreciation to the DPW, plow drivers, heavy equipment operators, and the many residents who picked up shovels and cleared paths for neighbors. Every effort mattered. Every cleared driveway, road, and walkway improved access and safety.

This is what community resilience looks like.

Prudence Island takes care of its own
