Statement From Governor Kathy Hochul on Hurricane Fiona

 Governor Kathy Hochul New York State Seal

"New York and Puerto Rico share a special bond, and I know many New Yorkers are concerned for the safety and well-being of friends and loved ones currently on the Island during Hurricane Fiona. I am praying for the people of Puerto Rico and my thoughts are also with our Puerto Rican community here in New York. 

"With expected flooding, mudslides and blackouts, conditions are extremely dangerous and I urge everyone to remain safe and listen to direction from local authorities. The New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services is monitoring the storm closely and will be able to rapidly deploy assistance if requested by the federal government and Puerto Rico. New York will always stand with and support Puerto Rico."
