For NYCHA Residents: Assist the Authority by closing and locking all windows in stair halls, lobbies and other public spaces.
Have sufficient amounts of water for drinking purposes in the event of water supply interruption.
Have flashlights and extra batteries available for use in the event of a power failure.
Have a portable battery powered radio to listen for current weather announcements.

IF THE STORM STRIKES

Stay indoors, stay away from windows and avoid unnecessary travel, either on foot or by vehicle. If you must go out, make sure all windows are closed and locked and all water faucets are turned off.
Avoid using elevators whenever possible during the storm. If a power failure occurs while you are on an elevator, STAY CALM. Help will be on its way.

Emergency Preparedness for Hurricane Sandy

I remember when Republicans wanted to cut "disaster relief". They said the US shouldn't be a "nanny state". Eric Cantor was leading the charge, until his district was hit by an earthquake and then a hurricane. God, these Republicans. So awful.

absolutely ridiculous to make this political before the storm hits.

Let this thread be used to warn people of what is possible and how to prepare to be self sufficient for days as they need to as it could be difficult for help to get in immediately.

Too late. Eric Cantor already said we need to cut disaster relief or tie it to some bill. Get it? He already said it. Past tense. It's been said. Pointing out what that ass hat said doesn't make me the bad guy. It makes those that defend him bad.

He's gonna put that money into ambassador security.....

Jim Cantore stated they are expecting 20 foot waves on the Great Lakes near Chicago from the fetch from Hurricane Sandy

right now, the south side of the storm is carrying the highest overall winds. So remember, just because the center passes, don't let your guard down.

 

[depotoo]

some flights are being cancelled, so if you have a flight in or out late today or tomorrow, be sure to check it first. This is for the coastal areas to be affected.

Thank you.

One thing we know for certain, we won't call Obama for help

Because you won't have to - he has already been doing the job of disaster relief ahead of the disaster.

Since this storm is predicted to come ashore in southern New Jersey, the Atlantic City boardwalk may suffer great damage.

I wonder if the casinos will close.
