Remember: Turn Around, Don't Drown! Never walk, swim, or drive through floodwater. Just 6 in (15 cm) of fast-moving floodwater can knock you over, and 12 in (30 cm) can carry your vehicle away.

Smoke alarms save lives. I was proud to join @redcrossny and the @FDNY during their Manhattan smoke alarm installation volunteer day.
Manhattanites: do your part and get alarmed today!

TRAVEL ADVISORY: Hey New Yorkers, a nor’easter is on the way! 🌧️💨
If you don’t have to travel, stay home and avoid unnecessary trips. Starting around 2 p.m., strong wind gusts could bring down trees and power lines.
Coastal flooding is expected to begin tonight and could be worst Saturday morning, especially in the Rockaways, around Jamaica Bay, and along Staten Island’s coast. If you live in a basement or low-lying area, know your exits and be prepared to move to higher ground if water starts rising.

We teamed up with @redcrossny to bring you a few tips for refreshing your emergency preparedness kit this fall. Make sure your supplies are up to date, replace anything expired or used, and test your flashlights. A few minutes of preparation now can make a big difference during an emergency. #EmergencyPreparedness

Crisp air, colorful leaves, pumpkin everything ... Some things change with the season. The need for blood is not one of them. Give blood this fall and help save lives. rcblood.org/appt
