The following message was sent at 12:20PM Tuesday.
This is the City of New Rochelle with a storm update. A state of emergency continues. Almost 2/3 of the community is without power and many streets are blocked. Assume all downed wires are live and stay clear.
Report all power outages directly to Con Ed at 1-800-75-CONED or www.coned.com. Report downed trees and wires to 740-6118. Other non-emergency storm issues can be reported to 654-2300.
Recycling will be picked up tomorrow as scheduled, and garbage will be picked up as usual on Thursday and Friday. Alternate side parking enforcement is suspended for the rest of the week.
We will provide details on dry ice distribution when we receive them from Con Edison.
The City will advocate for quick and efficient repairs, but given the scope of damage, utility resources are spread thin, and we advise residents that electricity may be out for many days, and you should plan accordingly. First priority will be given to immediate safety hazards, followed by clearance of major roads, then power restoration.
