Bruce Blakeman, Ed Romaine talk hurricane preparedness as Erin creeps in

The Nassau and Suffolk county executives joined together to provide emergency preparation tips for Long Islanders ahead of hurricane season and the incoming Hurricane Erin.

“I want to just remind people that if you live along the shore or a low-lying area, please make sure that you have water, have a plan to leave, have a place to go,” Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said. “Keep non-perishable food and manual can openers available in case there is a power outage, make sure you have flashlights and batteries.  Stay in touch by monitoring the internet, the radio and your television.”
