TRAVEL ADVISORY: Hey New Yorkers, a nor’easter is on the way! 🌧️💨 If you don’t have to travel, stay home and avoid unnecessary trips. Starting around 2 p.m., strong wind gusts could bring down trees and power lines. Coastal flooding is expected to begin tonight and could be worst Saturday morning, especially in the Rockaways, around Jamaica Bay, and along Staten Island’s coast. If you live in a basement or low-lying area, know your exits and be prepared to move to higher ground if water starts rising.

NYCEM has issued a Travel Advisory for today, August 20, based on the National Weather Service forecast for heavy rain and severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Flash flooding and damaging wind gusts are possible, and conditions could deteriorate quickly. Limit travel during inclement weather. Never drive or walk into flooded areas. If you live in a basement, be ready to move to a higher floor.

⚠️ Heads up, New York City! Another round of severe weather is expected tomorrow, with heavy rain that could lead to flooding. Conditions may be similar to what we experienced this past Saturday, so now is the time to prepare.   ✅ Get flood barriers, sandbags, or flood alarms if you need them.
✅ Never drive or walk through flooded streets.
✅ If you live in a basement apartment, be prepared to move to higher ground immediately if flooding develops. Do not wait.   Stay informed:
📱 Sign up for Basement Apartment Alerts at nyc.gov/basements
📱 Text NotifyNYC to 692-692 to receive emergency alerts.   Heavy rain may cause flooding of roads and streets. Be ready to act and move to higher ground during periods of intense rainfall.

Statement from NYCLU: "NYPD's no-speech zone last night spread 6 blocks from the event — sprawling across avenues and limiting press access. This is unprecedented and extreme: that type of zone hasn't been used for the U.N., visits from the President, or the 2004 RNC."

To address the crisis of hate violence in our city, we must fully fund the NYC Against Hate Violence policy proposal endorsed by the City Council Progressive Caucus, which calls to invest $26-30 million in non-carceral hate violence prevention. 2/ nycagainsthate.com/

It’s not enough to condemn these incidents after they occur; we need to proactively prevent them to make NYC safer for Jews and for everyone who calls NYC home. 3/
