AMESBURY — The city of Amesbury was recently awarded a total of $5,888 in grants from the Massachusetts Interlocal Insurance Association (MIIA), the city’s property and casualty insurance provider, to support investments that strengthen operational safety and risk management.

The grants allowed the city’s Department of Public Works to purchase a thermal imaging camera and new personal protective equipment, including chainsaw chaps, safety helmets, earplugs, safety glasses, and custom logo safety vests. The thermal imaging camera provides crews with a valuable tool for identifying subsurface moisture and temperature variations that can indicate potential infrastructure issues, while the new safety gear helps reduce the risk of injury during tree and road work.
