to check here for future updates on the status of
storm and evacuation notices. The Town and Village are on stand-by. The Red
Cross is scheduled to open the evacuation center at noon Monday October 29, 2012. The
Evacuation Center is located in the new SUNY Wellness Center/Gym located on the
campus close to Route 208. The Town and Village are advising residents to prepare
for power outages, high winds and flooding. This includes 10 day supply of
medicine, food and water (1
gal/per day/per person). Have flashlights, batteries and charged cell phones on
hand. Evacuation is not mandatory at this time, but we will be keeping track of
the storm's progress. Low lying areas should continuously monitor the status of
the storm and water levels, and consider evacuation as deemed appropriate.
Fire, Rescue and Highway units will be stationed west of the Wallkill River. We will have a better update on the status of Hurricane Sandy on Monday
after 12pm.
The EOC is the joint emergency command center of the Town Supervisor's Office, Mayor's Office, New Paltz Police Department, SUNY Police Department, Village Fire Department, Village Department of Public Works, Town Highway Department, Building Departments of both the Village and Town, Rescue Squad, SUNY New Paltz Institute for Disaster Mental Health, Family of New Paltz, SUNY New Paltz, New Paltz Central School District and the Woodland Pond continuing care retirement community.
