* Atlantic Hurricane Season is here until November 30th. Are you prepared?
If a hurricane hits, The City may order residents in certain zones to evacuate depending on the hurricane's track and projected storm surge. Knowing your hurricane evacuation zone in advance can prevent stress and evacuation delays if you are asked to evacuate because of an incoming hurricane or coastal storm. Visit nyc.gov/knowyourzone to know your zone & make a plan.
* The Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) will host its next public board meeting on Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. via Webex and in-person. You can attend in person at 100 Church Street, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10007 or register to attend virtually here ([link removed]) .

In solidarity,

Council Member Shahana
