There were many lessons learned during and after Hurricane Matthew last year, Richmond Hill Fire Chief Ralph Catlett told the city council at its meeting March 7. One of the most important, arguably, was the inability to keep city residents completely up-to-date on weather developments and when it was safe to return to the area and how clean-up efforts were progressing. The fire chief wants the city council to consider spending $4,400 yearly for a communication system that would go a long way toward addressing those concerns.
