Are You More Prepared for an Emergency?

A year after Tropical Storm Irene battered New Castle, Mount Kisco and towns like it up and down the Eastern seaboard, officials have discussed what has transpired since.

What about you? Did either Irene or the October snowstorm result in you purchasing a generator? Was it professionally installed?

Do you have supplies at home like water, a radio and extra batteries? If you plan to leave during the next emergency, do you have a place to go?

Have you signed up for your police department's emergency text or email alert service?
