From Deet & Tick Committee:
Lone Star ticks are most active in spring and summer. Always check yourself for ticks frequently while outdoors and once back inside, especially after being in wooded areas or areas with tall grass.

Lone star tick bites can trigger alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), also known as the red meat allergy. People with AGS can have an allergic reaction after eating red meat or other animal products like milk and gelatin. Symptoms include rash, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Consult a healthcare provider if you think you may have AGS.

Town of Shelter Island Wireless Master Plan & Community Survey

The Town of Shelter Island is preparing a Draft Wireless Master Plan to guide future decisions on wireless communications, cellular coverage, and related infrastructure throughout the community.

Reliable wireless service is increasingly important for public safety, healthcare, education, remote work, business activity, and everyday communication. At the same time, the Town recognizes the need to preserve Shelter Island’s scenic, residential, and environmental character. This planning effort aims to evaluate current service conditions, identify areas of need, and explore potential solutions that balance improved connectivity with community priorities.

This initiative also supports the Town’s ongoing Comprehensive Plan process. Through public workshops and community discussions, residents have emphasized the need to plan for adequate public services and infrastructure, including broadband and cellular communications. The Draft Wireless Master Plan is intended to support those broader planning goals by providing technical analysis, identifying coverage gaps, and evaluating potential strategies to improve wireless service in a thoughtful, community-sensitive manner.

Residents, property owners, businesses, and visitors are encouraged to review the Draft Wireless Master Plan and complete the community survey. Public input will help the Town better understand:
- Existing wireless service experiences
- Areas with poor or inconsistent coverage
- Public safety and reliability concerns
- Preferences regarding future wireless infrastructure design and location
- Community priorities related to aesthetics, resiliency, and connectivity

How to Participate:
- Review the Draft Wireless Master Plan
- Complete the online community survey
- Share your comments and feedback
