PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
701 AM EDT THU MAY 8 2025
..NATIONAL HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS WEEK IS FROM MAY 4 TO MAY 10
..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.
WHILE RAIN AND STORM SURGE CAUSE MOST DEATHS, WINDS CAN ALSO BE VERY
DESTRUCTIVE. WINDS CAN BE STRONGER HIGHER ABOVE GROUND LEVEL,
PUTTING HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS AT A GREATER RISK. TO PROTECT YOURSELF,
THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS PUT AS MANY WALLS AS POSSIBLE BETWEEN
YOU AND THE OUTSIDE. AN INTERIOR ROOM WITHOUT WINDOWS IS THE SAFEST
PLACE YOU CAN BE IN A BUILDING.
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.
MAKE SURE TO HAVE WIRELESS EMERGENCY ALERTS ENABLED ON YOUR PHONE TO
RECEIVE WARNINGS AND OTHER ALERTS.
