E-News Update
Dear Neighbors and Friends,

Yes, here we go again. Our Police Department already sent out a Nixle Alert, but here’s some additional info. 

WIND/HAIL STORM: As this one came out of nowhere, it doesn’t even have a name. But it’s strong. Possible 70+MPH winds, large hail, rain, etc. As of this writing, it seems to be tracking north of us (Good News!!), but take precautions below nonetheless. 

HURRICANE LAURA: Louisiana and Texas certainly got the worst of this, and we wish them all down there. We may not get any remnants of this storm, but we need to be prepared so see the precautions below.  We’ll be on a call with Con Ed tomorrow to understand their preparations, but after inquiring today, I was encouraged to learn that they have secured 100 additional overhead line personnel that arrived this morning! So let’s give Con Ed some credit so far on preparation. 

PRECAUTIONS:  Here are a few…

  • Fill your tub before any storm if you have a well, so you can flush, etc.
  • Have flashlights, candles, fresh batteries, etc. handy
  • Charge all of your electronics
  • Make sure your propane tank is full or that your gas cans are full for your generator


REPORTING POWER OUTAGES:

If you have an outage, call Con Edison directly: (800) 752-6633 or visit their website at www.coned.com. Every residence should report their own outage directly to Con Edison in order for them to create a ticket. 

If you do have an outage, you can also sign up for Con Edison Text Alerts by Clicking Here
 

EMERGENCIES and HAZARDS:

In case of Emergency call the North Castle Police Department (NCPD): 273-9500.

Please register for NIXLE to receive Police and Highway Alerts www.nixle.com

If you use life-support Equipment – register with Con-Edison by filling out the life support equipment form on the Con-Edison website.

CAUTION: Do not drive around Police barriers or yellow Caution Tape once a road is closed. The NCPD closes a road because a hazard exists, and NEVER ATTEMPT TO TOUCH WIRES.   

COVID:  More progress this week, with Gyms, Bowling Alleys, etc. opening. 

AS ALWAYS – MASK UP!!! Keep distancing!!! Model Good Behavior. It’s all working!!  A quick Town update: We continue to remain well below the county average of incident rates per population. We currently have 3 positive cases in Town, and our total since Covid began is 221. We can report these numbers, but that is all that we can and will report, thus please understand and appreciate that due to confidentiality laws, emails to us asking for any further info regarding details will not be responded to.
It’s easy to lose focus on Covid but stay diligent.  



I’ll be sending another email tomorrow on some other items, but wanted to get this storm email out before tonight.

Stay safe and be smart,


Mike
