Hempstead Town Battens down the Hatches for Tropical Storm Henri – Secures Marinas and Readies Response Crews for Potential Hurricane
Tropical Storm Henri is on the move and Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin has ensured that America’s largest township is well prepared to weather the storm. Clavin has mobilized the Town of Hempstead Storm Response Team in anticipation of the tropical storm and potential hurricane, which is currently making its way across the Atlantic and is expected to reach our area by Sunday evening into Monday morning. Meteorologists and weather experts are predicting that Tropical Storm Henri will strengthen into a Category 1 Hurricane as it moves across the Atlantic. Town officials alerted residents of a strengthened rip tide, large waves, strong winds, heavy rain and possible coastal flooding.
“The Town of Hempstead was readily prepared for Tropical Depression Fred and will continue following-through with storm preparations as we await Tropical Storm Henri,” said Clavin. “Although Tropical Depression Fred turned out to be nothing more than a rainy, windy nuisance, it is predicted that Tropical Storm Henri will turn into a Category 1 Hurricane when it moves up the Atlantic. No matter the size of the storm, Hempstead Town does not underestimate Mother Nature’s wrath. We encourage residents to do the same and to take precautions such as having non-perishable food, water and basic necessities on hand in the event of potential storm surges and power outages.”
Town workers have been undergoing preparations all week by clearing storm drains, fueling response vehicles and priming equipment in anticipation of potential flooding, downed trees and storm-related damages. In addition, boats have been secured at town marinas and town lifeguards have been warning beachgoers of the dangers of increased riptides with large waves. Supervisor Clavin was joined in making the announcement by Senior Councilwoman Dorothy Goosby, Councilmen Bruce Blakeman, Anthony D’Esposito, Dennis Dunne Sr., Thomas Muscarella, Christopher Carini, Town Clerk Kate Murray and Receiver of Taxes Jeanine Driscoll.
Hempstead Town officials will continue to monitor the storm’s strength and path in collaboration with the Nassau County Office of Emergency Management and the National Weather Service. Visit hempsteadny.gov or check the Town of Hempstead Facebook Page and Twitter (@HempsteadTown) for updates. Report downed trees, particularly those obstructing town roads, by calling 516-489-5000 during regular hours 9 to 4:45 or after hours please call Public Safety at 516-538-1900. Please note that if power lines are involved, the town cannot remove the trees until given an all clear by the utility companies for safety reasons.
“Throughout the storm, our dedicated CSEA Local 880 workforce will be responding to fallen trees and emergency situations,” said Clavin. “The Town of Hempstead will continue to provide updates and keep residents safe throughout the storm.”
