New Rochelle Alerts Residents to Storm

The city sent out an automated phone message, a text alert and an email Friday regarding Hurricane Sandy.

From the City of New Rochelle:

This is an important message regarding Hurricane Sandy.  While forecasts are still uncertain, high winds and heavy rain may strike our region beginning late Sunday night, with a significant risk of flooding and power outages.

The City is taking every possible precaution and all public services are ready. We are asking our residents to prepare as well by checking supplies, making an emergency kit, securing yard items and construction materials, and having a plan in case it becomes necessary to leave your home. 

You can find much more information on the City Web site at www.newrochelleny.com or at www.ready.gov. And we will provide additional automated messages as needed.

Finally, we encourage you to sign up to receive these emergency bulletins on your cell phone or through email.  That way, you can stay informed, even if your land-line service is disrupted.  From the City’s homepage, click on the “Connect-CTY Sign Up Now” icon in the lower right, then follow prompts.

It seemed to me the key point of moving the City Yard from the waterfront was to open up theRead More waterfront and turn that run down and obsolete yard into a public park overlooking Long Island Sound. The westside site was the most cost effective place to move the yard. Not ideal, but no real alternative has been proposed. I don't think this has much to do with racism. All races can enjoy more of the waterfront. Any development around it will add to our tax base

Ms. Aronow, The issue is that an alternative has been suggested, Ward Acres, as it is much largerRead More and strategically beneficial for the City of New Rochelle. I don't think the recent public discussions has resulted in unanimity in terms of the waterfront being an entirely public venue for all races to enjoy.
