New York City is preparing for rain, wind and flooding over the next couple of days and for a yet uncertain impact by Hurricane Joaquin.I encourage you to review the information below and take the necessary steps to stay safe and to plan for the potential of power outages.

While my office is here to assist and keep you posted on developments, I encourage you to sign up to Notify NYC for real-time alerts about the storm and the most up to date emergency information. You can also download the free Red Cross Emergency App that combines more than 35 different severe weather and emergency alerts.

For tips to help you get ready if the Hurricane does impact the New York City area, you can also visit the New York City’s Emergency Management website.
