Hurricane Sandy is coming whether we like it or not.
Here are a few simple things to do to be prepared:
• If you are in Zone A, you MUST evacuate. Check this evacuation map.

• NYC Public Schools will be closed tomorrow – Monday October 28, 2012.
• Check NOAA for updated storm information. (No drama weather information.)
• Make sure you have enough non-perishable food and water for 3 Days. You don’t necessarily need to buy cases of bottled water. You most likely have plenty of containers, like big pots to store water in. Fill your bathtub with water for bathing and flushing the toilet.
• Look out for your pets, make sure you have enough pet food and supplies for a few days.
• Make sure you have enough prescription medication for a few days.

• Turn your lawn furniture on it’s side and clear your fire escape.
• It’s a good time to take your window A/C inside.
