Full Notification

NYC Emergency Management reminds New Yorkers to prepare for rain from 5/23 - 5/24.
New Yorkers living in basement apartments are reminded to be prepared to move to higher ground or a higher floor during periods of heavy rain. Heavy rain may cause rapid flooding to basements with little to no notice and can be life threatening. Stay OUT of flooded basements under all circumstances.
 
Limit travel and stay inside during periods of severe weather. If you must travel, exercise caution and visit mta.info or 511ny.org before leaving for weather-related delays or closures.
 
Do not drive your vehicle or walk into areas where water covers the roadway.
 
If you are outside during a thunderstorm, avoid open areas and try to seek shelter indoors.
