A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for portions of CT, NJ and NY until 10PM tonight. The main threats will be damaging winds and hail. Remember, if you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck by lightning. If headed out, have a plan to take shelter if a storm gets too close.

EXERCISE! EXERCISE! EXERCISE!
Our Metro New York North Chapter team participated in a thunderbolt exercise today - a no-notice, timed exercise to open several congregate shelters concurrently. From moving supplies into place to setting up cots and opening registration, the team practiced each step needed to create a safe place for people displaced by a disaster.
We are grateful to and for being partners in this effort to prepare our teams and for serving as shelter sites.
A big THANK YOU to all who participated to help make sure we are ready to support the community when the time comes. ⛑️
