September is National Preparedness Month and this site has great resources for families and businesses to be prepared. Events are further complicated by COVID so take extra care. 

Be prepared, proactive and aware!
Keep yourself updated with City Agency links:


The City has created the GetFoodNYC food delivery program to provide food for coronavirus (COVID-19)-vulnerable and food-insecure New Yorkers not currently served through existing food delivery programs. Sign up here or call 311.

Dear Community Board members and residents:

Please contact CM Treyger and CM Deutsch, either by email or calling their offices and ask them to vote YES on City Council intros 142 and 143. These intros as you can read is about keeping construction companies accountable about the air particulates and air quality they expose into our community. They will have to make air quality reports available to the community and will be heavily fined if not compliant.
This will also enable our community to push for a data driven air quality study for our community. 
Monitoring our air quality has been a major issue for our community for many years. Here’s an opportunity to show that we care about our air.

Early Guidance for Indoor Dining

Restaurants will be allowed to reopen for indoor dining beginning on September 30th.
They will be subject to rigorous inspection protocols and strict occupancy limits. Some requirements for restaurants include:
• Serve customers at a maximum of 25% capacity
• Conduct temperature checks at every front door
• Collect Test & Trace data from at least one customer at each table
• Close bar tops for seating
• Offer COVID-19 protections like PPE for employees
• Space tables six feet apart

If New York City hits 2% in COVID-19 positivity rates, the City will immediately reassess.

Once indoor dining begins, the public will be able to call 833-208-4160 to make a report or text VIOLATION to 855-904-5036.

Please continue to watch for emails from us as more information will be shared in the coming weeks leading up to September 30th.
Don't forget to check us out on Facebook and on our website.
