The Town of Holliston's Comprehensive Emergency Plan was revised in 2002, after having been updated with the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency in 1999. The data collection packet was returned to the the Planning Division in April 2002. Due to MEMA funding issues, multiple copies of the 2002 plan were not printed. The 1999 plan is still available for review at the Town Hall, Police Station, Fire Station, and Highway Department.
