Impacts from Tropical Storm Ophelia will occur through Saturday evening.

Peak winds are expected to occur overnight with the shift from the east to southeast/south possible a bit earlier in the day tomorrow. Moderate soundside impacts are expected as the wind shifts, causing the potential for rapid water level rise in the sound. If you are soundside, plan accordingly. When the wind shifts and brings the sound water back, it could cause flooding to property. Plan and prepare now.

High winds will continue which could bring power outages and communication issues. Charge up your phones while you can!

Life- threatening rip currents and ocean conditions are expected to continue through the weekend. Stay out of the ocean.

There is a threat of tornadoes. Make sure you have a way to receive notifications about tornado activity, especially at night.

Updates will be shared as they are received.

With impending weather, it is a great time to ensure that you and your family are prepared for any disaster. Have you reviewed your preparedness plan? Here are some questions to keep in mind if you live with or care for an older adult:

✅ Do they use essential medical devices?
✅ How would you evacuate with those devices in an emergency?
✅ Do you have an alternate plan for refrigerating medicines if you lose power?
✅ Do you have a copy of their house key?
✅ Know where they keep emergency supplies
✅ Learn how to use lifesaving equipment and administer medicine
✅ Have a transportation plan in case they don’t have a car or driver’s license
✅ Take medical equipment into consideration
✅ Keep in mind unique difficulties

It is critical to consider each aspect of basic necessities when preparing your preparedness #NPM2023 #NationalPreparednessMonth

Say hello to @brassqueensnyc performing on October 8 on the Amphitheater Stage at the 2023 Duck Jazz Festival presented by @PNCBank!

Brass Queens is a 9-piece brass band that is dedicated to showcasing the talents of female musicians in a landscape where male musicians and bandleaders dominate. Brass Queens has developed a signature sound that sits right at the intersection of the Big Apple and the Big Easy: their music is deeply inspired by and pays homage to the New Orleans brass band tradition while injecting the upbeat, multifaceted energy of their New York home into each performance.

The result is a nonstop party: a Brass Queens show will have you singing along to classic pop hits, dancing your heart out to reggaeton, and feeling like you’ve been transported to Frenchman Street.
