nyc_hurricaneThe New York City Office of Emergency Management (OEM) has begun an ad campaign to alert New Yorkers about the possibility of strong hurricanes and what to do in case evacuation becomes necessary. OEM designed the city's coastal storm plan, which includes potential evacuation measures. The city has also created a Hurricane Evacuation website that allows city residents to find out if they live in a hurricane evacuation zone by typing in their address. "Historically, New York City is most vulnerable to coastal storms and hurricanes from August to October, when water temperatures along the east coast warm up," OEM Commissioner Joseph F. Bruno said. "Hurricanes do not only affect Florida and the Gulf Coast. We hope this new ad campaign will encourage New Yorkers to find out if they live in a hurricane evacuation zone, and make sure they address hurricanes as part of their disaster plans." Photo by J.
