Public Information Statement
National Weather Service New York NY
608 AM EDT Thu May 9 2024

...National Hurricane Preparedness Week is from May 5 to May 11...
...Stay Protected During Storms...

During a storm, whether you`ve evacuated or are sheltering in place,
know what to expect from the hazards you may face. Remain vigilant,
stay up to date with the latest forecasts and alerts, and continue
to listen to local officials.

Always keep a safe distance from flooded and damaged areas. When
you`re at risk from storm surge or flooding, it`s important to get
to high ground away from bodies of water and any flood prone areas.

Make sure to have Wireless Emergency Alerts enabled on your phone to
receive warnings and other alerts.

Remain vigilant even if you`re far from the most damaging winds.
Inland flooding can be felt hundreds of miles from the coast. Never
drive through flood waters.

Be prepared this hurricane season and visit hurricanes.gov and
ready.gov/hurricanes.

The next statement will focus on using caution after storms.
