I’m declaring a State of Emergency for Nassau, Suffolk, New York City and Westchester as this powerful coastal storm bears down on the region. We’re expecting dangerous coastal flooding, strong winds and potential power outages through the weekend. Take this storm seriously. Stay alert, avoid unnecessary travel, and text 333-111 for realtime updates.

September 11th, 2001. A beautiful morning gave way to unfathomable tragedy. Twenty-five years later, the world has changed. But we will never forget those we lost, those who survived, and the families forever changed. A special thank you to Steve Buscemi, a former FDNY firefighter who returned to serve after the attacks, for lending his voice to this video.

New York’s electric grid is under heavy strain as this heat wave drives up energy demand. We’re asking New Yorkers to voluntarily conserve power by setting your A/C between 75–78°, avoiding unnecessary appliance use, and turning off lights and electronics when they’re not needed. These small steps can help prevent outages, keep the power on, and protect the most vulnerable members of our communities. My team is coordinating with Con Edison, NYISO, and New York City leaders to reduce demand across the grid.
