Dear Community,

🚨 FLASH FLOOD ALERT: NYC URGES PRECAUTIONS 🚨

New York City is expecting heavy rain and strong thunderstorms starting 2 PM Thursday, July 31 through Friday, August 1. Up to 5 inches of rain may fall in some areas, causing dangerous flash flooding, especially in low-lying or poor-drainage zones.

Here’s what you can do to stay safe:
✅ Avoid travel if possible – especially Thursday night.
✅ Sign up for Notify NYC alerts: nyc.gov/notifynyc
✅ If you live in a basement apartment, relocate to higher ground before water rises.
✅ Pack a Go Bag with essentials (ID, meds, chargers).
✅ Stay indoors during the storm.
✅ Never walk or drive through floodwaters.

Flash floods can become deadly in minutes. Be proactive and check on loved ones, especially seniors and those with limited mobility.

Stay safe,
