"As the Nor'easter continues making its way through New York, I'm declaring a State of Emergency across boroughs and counties most impacted by the storm,"
"The safety of New Yorkers is my top priority, and I continue to urge extreme caution until the storm has passed through the state."
"All our teams here locally are working around the clock with our state partners to ensure New Yorkers are informed and safe. We'll continue to keep you updated as new information is available."
A state of emergency covers New York City, Long Island and Westchester County as a nor'easter approaches Sunday and Monday. Coastal Flood Warnings run through 8 p.m. Monday for Long Island, New York City and Westchester County. A High Wind Warning covers much of Suffolk County through 6 p.m. Monday, and a Wind Advisory applies to the rest of Long Island, New York City and southern Westchester. New Jersey also declared a state of emergency. Over 7,000 utility workers are staged statewide for anticipated power outages, and local services reported outages early Sunday evening. All three Tri-State airports report weather-related delays. The MTA banned empty tractor-trailers and tandem trucks on the city's seven bridges and tunnels. Utility outage phone numbers are provided.
