Sandy Hub: Recovery and Restoration
All things recovery here. Please use the comments to share information with your neighbors and give a good picture of what is going on in different parts of Yorktown and Somers.
Days after Super Storm Sandy slammed into the northeast and most large numbers of Yorktown and Somers residents still do not have electricity, school is still out and many roads remain closed.
We have compiled all of our Sandy recovery and power restoration information here for you to contribute to and check frequently for updates.
Please add your information in the comments to make this as comprehensive as possible. Let us know when you get power back, when your road opens up, or where you are seeing Con Edison and NYSEG trucks around town.
