Dear neighbor, 

I hope this finds you safe and well. My team and I are keeping a close watch on the developments of Hurricane Henri, which is approaching the East Coast and parts of New York, including our district, as we speak. A state of emergency has been declared for Bronx and Westchester counties, and New York City is currently under a tropical storm warning.

The hurricane may make landfall as soon as tomorrow. Please make preparations to ensure that you and your loved ones are able to stay safe. Heavy rainfall, flooding, power outages, and other impacts from the storm are possible. Be sure to charge phones and other electronics and prepare flashlights.

See here for more information about Hurricane Preparedness from FEMA: https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20210821/fema-urges-preparedness-now-hurricane-henri

ConEdison customers can report outages to them by calling 1-800-752-6633, and you can sign up for text notifications by texting REG to 688243.

I also ask that you be sure to check on your neighbors and family who may need assistance. Let’s get through this storm safely. As always, please know that our office can be a resource to you for emergencies like these and many other services. Our contact info can be found below.
