Did your home or business sustain damage from the July 28-29 heavy rain & flash flooding event?

Residents and businesses are asked to complete this form to help State and County potentially request federal aid. This is NOT a form for relief programs. https://t.co/nH0kWmya30

There is a chance of severe storms on Sat, mainly 12-8pm. The main threat is from damaging wind gusts, but an isolated tornado & isolated hail (~1" in diameter) cannot be ruled out. The greatest threat lies across the NYC metro, NE NJ, LoHud, & SW CT. Stay weather aware!

On this Labor Day, please thank our first responders for everything they do, every day of the year.

Thank you to @NYSCivilService Commissioner Hogues for joining @DHSESCommish Bray in delivering this important message.

Please share! Did you know that 1ft of water is enough to make most cars float? Even the largest and heaviest vehicles will float. DO NOT attempt to drive over a flooded road. #FloodSafety #NYPrepare
