For too long, not every neighborhood has had equal access to tree canopy. That changes today.

NYC’s first-ever #UrbanForestPlan lays out a path to a cooler, healthier, more equitable city, with a goal of 30% canopy by 2040.

NYC: We've got a little more rain headed our way today before the weather starts to dry up. Stay safe and stay prepared.

Se anima a los neoyorquinos a prepararse para lluvias fuertes que se esperan en NYC. Durante las lluvias fuertes, vaya a zonas más altas. Si está en un sótano, suba a un piso más alto. Si debe viajar, tenga cuidado. Info: https://t.co/QGLHyLIA1N.

[NYCEM - Notify NYC @NotifyNYC]

Intermittent heavy rain possible in NYC 5/24 - 5/25. Do not enter flooded roadways or buildings. Stay OUT of flooded basements. Call 311 to report clogged catch basins or flooding. Before traveling, visit https://t.co/Y3FyFdTut2 or https://t.co/vplzSDfEWg for travel impacts.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

We had a rainy day, and we’ll have a rainy night.

The heaviest rainfall is expected to begin in the early hours of the morning and continue through midday tomorrow. 

While flash flooding is not forecasted, conditions can change quickly — especially overnight — and it’s never too soon to learn how to stay safe during a storm.

Here’s what you can do right now:
➡️ Text NOTIFYNYC to 692-692 for emergency alerts.
➡️ Use caution when traveling and take mass transit if possible.
➡️ Visit https://t.co/sEOhIlj2rN to learn more and make a plan for you and your family.

If flooding occurs:
➡️ Call 911 if you are in immediate danger, trapped by rising water, or see a life-threatening emergency.
➡️ Floodwater can rise rapidly, conceal hazards, and carry electrical current or contamination.
➡️ Avoid flooded basements, subway stations, and underpasses.
➡️ Never walk, swim, or drive through floodwater.
➡️ If you live in a basement apartment, move to higher ground immediately.
➡️ File a @NYC311 service request for issues that require a City response: basement flooding, sewer backups, downed trees, mold, or power outages.
➡️ Report damage at https://t.co/mjZl8TXJb9 to help the City assess impacts and secure federal recovery resources.

Rain or shine, we get through weather together. Stay vigilant, make a plan, and look out for one another.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

New Yorkers shouldn’t have to worry every time it rains. Ahead of this weekend’s storms, City workers have been out across all five boroughs clearing and inspecting catch basins in flood-prone neighborhoods.

Today I joined @NYCWater in Bushwick to clear a catch basin overflowing with debris and litter on Knickerbocker Avenue, one of the areas hit hardest by Wednesday’s storm.

If you see a clogged catch basin, call 311.

And if you’re able, help your neighbors by clearing leaves or litter from nearby grates before the rain arrives.

NYCEM reminds New Yorkers to prepare for heavy rain 5/23 - 5/24. Basement flooding can happen quickly and be life-threatening. Move to higher ground if needed and STAY OUT of flooded basements. Limit travel and do not enter flooded roads. More info: https://t.co/4Iwr57T0cl

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

This weekend will be a rainy one, and whenever and wherever it rains, conditions can worsen quickly.

New Yorkers should always be prepared to stay safe:

Text NOTIFYNYC to 692-692 for emergency alerts.

If you must travel, use caution and use mass transit if possible. Never walk, swim, or drive through floodwater.

If you live in a basement, move to higher ground if flooding occurs.
