Safety
Tips
- If you
live in a
basement
apartment, be
prepared to
move to a
higher floor
during periods
of heavy rain.
- If you
live in a
flood-prone
area, keep
materials such
as sandbags,
plywood,
plastic
sheeting, and
lumber on hand
to help
protect your
home.
- If you
have a
disability or
access or
functional
need, make
sure your plan
addresses how
your needs may
affect your
ability to
evacuate,
shelter in
place, or
communicate
with emergency
workers.
Arrange help
from family,
friends, or
service
providers if
you will need
assistance.
- Exercise
caution when
traveling. Do
not drive your
vehicle or
walk into
areas where
water covers
the roadway as
the water
depth may be
too great to
allow you to
cross safely.
Use mass
transit if
possible.
- When
outside, avoid
walking and
driving
through
flooded areas.
As few as six
inches of
moving water
can knock a
person over.
Six inches of
water will
reach the
bottom of most
passenger
cars, causing
loss of
control and
possible
stalling. One
or two feet of
water can
carry away a
vehicle.
- Stay out
of any
building if it
is surrounded
by
floodwaters. Avoid
flooded subway
stations.
- If you see
downed
electrical
wires, do not
go near them.
Never attempt
to move or
touch them
with any
object. Be
mindful that
tree limbs,
leaves, or
water can
cover downed
wires from
view. Always
stay away from
downed power
lines because
they could be
live.
- Strong
winds can
bring down
trees and
power lines
and can turn
unsecured
objects into
dangerous
projectiles.
They can also
cause power
outages. To
prepare for
these hazards,
New Yorkers
should:
- Check
the area
immediately
surrounding
your home for
unsecured
objects or
potentially
dangerous
conditions.
Tree limbs,
garbage cans,
yard debris,
or other
materials that
can be moved
by the wind
are potential
projectiles
aimed at your
home or parked
vehicle.
- Bring
inside loose,
lightweight
objects such
as lawn
furniture,
potted plants,
garbage cans,
garden tools
and toys.
- Report
downed wires
immediately.
If a power
line falls on
your car while
you are in it,
stay inside
the vehicle
and wait for
emergency
personnel.
Power
Outages
- To prepare
for a possible
power outage,
charge cell
phone
batteries,
gather
supplies, and
turn your
refrigerator
and freezer to
a colder
setting. If
you lose
power, items
that need
refrigeration
will stay
cooler for
longer.
- Make sure
your
flashlights
and any
battery-operated
radios or
televisions
are working.
Keep extra
batteries.
- If you
lose power and
have a
disability,
access and
functional
needs or use
life-sustaining
equipment
(LSE) and need
immediate
assistance,
dial
911.
- Do not use
generators
indoors.
- Check on
friends,
relatives, and
neighbors,
especially
older adults
and people
with
disabilities,
access and
functional
needs, or
health
conditions.
Help them to
prepare if
needed.
