Hi All,June 1st is typically the start of the hurricane season on Long Island - and, for the whole eastern seaboard of the United States...
A few days ago we received a flyer from Town of Hempstead Supervisor Venditto entitled, 'It's Hurricane Season, Be Ready'. The flyer discussed the hurricane seminar that is to be held on Tuesday, June 9th, 2015 at the Morrelly Homeland Security Center in Bethpage.
The full address is:
Morrelly Homeland Security Center
510 Grumman Road West
Bethpage, New York 11714
More information can be found by visiting the Town of Oyster Bay hurricane site by clicking on this link.
Readers can also call the Town of Oyster Bay's Department of Public Safety at 516-677-5350 as well.
The flyer - which is available at the Reference Desk at the library - had 4 sections:
1. Prepare and Build an Emergency Kit - a list of essential supplies for a basic kit is included
2. When to Evacuate
3. When the Hurricane Hits
4, The Aftermath of the Hurricane.
The flyer/pamphlet has charts, safety advice for the house, pets and much, much, more...
Some other websites that readers might want to visit in order to prepare for a future hurricane include the National Weather Service, the NOAA National Hurricane Center, the FEMA-Ready website and The Weather Channel.
Hope the sites and information are useful. More to the point, let's hope we don't have a landfall hurricane this season.
Regards,
Stu
