How can I be notified when blasting is going to occur?

Rawson Materials will post on their Facebook page up to a week before a blast is set to occur. The day of a blast the Facebook page will be updated and the Town Manager and Westerly Police Department will be notified of the time of the blast. Rawson also keeps a call list and provides notice of each blast up to 2 hours beforehand; if you would like to be added to Rawson’s call list please contact us at 860-481-7158.
