Weather Update:

The Town of North Hempstead is continuing to monitor Tropical Storm Henri. Our crews have been out clearing storm drains and ensuring that our fleet of vehicles are at the ready in case of any and all emergencies. Heavy rains and high winds are expected for our area, we advise everyone to secure or take down outdoor furnishings and decorations in advance of the storm.

As always, we encourage Town residents to prepare for any future storms by taking the following steps:
• Families should have an emergency kit containing: water, batteries, non-perishable food, flashlights, a first aid kit and can opener. There should be enough supplies to last five days for each family member.
• Be aware of the emergency evacuation routes in your community.
• Create a family emergency plan with a meeting spot, contact numbers, and exits from your home.
• Plan in advance for pets. Create an animal emergency supply kit with food, water, and other supplies; and research hotels and motels that accept pets.
• Check in on the elderly during emergencies and ensure that they have all the supplies necessary to cope with an emergency situation.
• Create a network of neighbors, relatives and friends who can assist you during an emergency if you need help.
• Have a copy of medical information including a listing medications and health records and make provisions for any medications that require refrigeration. In case of power outages or gas leaks, PSEG Long Island can be reached at 1-800-490-0025 and National Grid can be reached at 1-800-930-5003.
