Full Notification

In anticipation of this weekend’s storm, the New Castle Police are strongly urging our residents to avoid unnecessary travel. This keeps roads open for emergency responders, DPW, and utility workers. It also allows vehicles that are already on the road to reach their destinations.
 
Additionally, Supervisor Tipp has declared a Snow Emergency for the Town.  The Snow Emergency will be in effect from Saturday, January 24, 2026, at 11:00 P.M. through Monday, January 26, 2026, at 3:00 P.M.  During that timeframe, it is unlawful to park or leave unattended any motor vehicle on any street or highway in The Town of New Castle.  Any vehicle left in this fashion is subject to being towed at the owner's expense.
 
We request that all vehicles be removed from the train station parking lot. If it is absolutely necessary to leave vehicles in the lot overnight, please make sure they are in the designated overnight parking areas in the south end of the lot.
 
In the event of life-threatening emergencies, dial 911.  
 
To report downed wires, road blockages, and non-life-threatening issues, contact (914) 238-4422. Treat all downed wires as if they are live, and be mindful that they may be hidden by tree limbs, leaves, etc.
 
Please do not call the Police if you lose power. Calling the Police to report a power outage only ties up emergency telephone lines, and you will be referred to contact Con Edison directly at 1-800-75-CONED. Calling Con Edison enters your power loss into their computerized database. You can also report outages, view the outage map, and check outage status at www.conEd.com.
 
Con Edison would also like us to encourage their customers to sign up for text alerts. You can use your cell phone to text REG to OUTAGE (688243) and follow the prompts. You'll need your account number to confirm your zip code. To retrieve your account number, log in to My Account or check your bill. This information is also located on their website at www.coned.com/text. 
 
Make sure you are prepared and stay safe during the storm, and if possible, check on your neighbors who are frail, alone, or may require additional help. New York State provides a list of emergency supplies for your home and vehicles.
 
The New Castle Police Department maintains a voluntary list of people who may require additional help and would like to be checked on during extreme weather. 
 
If you or someone you know would like to be added to this list, call (914) 238-4422.
