    New York Governor Cuomo Issues Preparedness Update As Extremely Strong Winds Begin to Impact New York

    Albany, NY - - (February 24, 2019) - - Today, the Office of the Governor of New York published the following information:


    Winds Gusts May Reach 40 to 50 MPH Throughout Much of State; 70 to 75 MPH in Western New York and Western Portions of North Country

    Total of 250 National Guard Members Have Been Activated to Assist with Debris Clearance

    Utilities on Standby to Respond to Power Disruptions 24 Hours a Day

    All Empty Tractor Trailers and Empty Tandems Banned from Portions of New York State Thruway and Interstate Highways

    Empty Tractor Trailers and Empty Tandems to also be Banned from MTA Bridges Beginning at 10 p.m. Sunday

    State Emergency Operations Center Will Remain Activated to Enhanced Monitoring Mode Throughout the Storm


    Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today updated New Yorkers on the preparations the state has taken as extremely strong and dangerous winds begin to impact much of the state. Currently, a cold front is moving through the State bringing with it a mix of precipitation types, as well as extremely strong winds, throughout the course of Sunday and Monday. Winds are expected to gust at or above 45 mph much of Sunday night and Monday over the vast majority of the state, with gusts approaching 75 mph at times in Western New York and western portions of the North Country.

    In response, the Governor has activated an additional 150 members of the National Guard to assist with storm associated debris clearance, bringing the total of number of National Guard activations to 250. Additionally, utilities are prepared to respond 24 hours a day to power disruptions and are mandated to implement their emergency response plans when needed. Empty tractor trailers and empty tandems have also been banned from portions of the New York State Thruway and some interstate highways in the Western New York, Central New York and Finger Lakes Regions since 10 a.m. Sunday morning. Beginning at 10 p.m. Sunday evening, empty tractor trailers and empty tandems will also be banned from traveling across the seven MTA-maintained bridges in New York City.

    "One thing we've learned over and over in these severe weather situations is if you wait for the storm to develop to start your actions, it's too late," Governor Cuomo said. "We have taken every precaution to ensure a smooth response to these dangerously high winds and have made it clear to utilities that they must work to restore power as quickly as possible. I urge all New Yorkers to remain alert during this storm system and to report any disruptions in power to their utility immediately."

    Empty tractor trailers and tandems are currently banned from the following interstate highways and MTA Bridges until further notice:

    DOT Highways:

    • I-390 from Dansville to Rt 104
    • I-490 from I-90 exit 45 to I-90 exit 47

    • Rt 104 at the Bay Bridge
    • I-190 from Grand Island to Lewiston / Queenston
    • I-290 from I-190 to I-90
    • NY 5 from I-190 to NY 179 (with a full truck ban on the elevated section of the Skyway)
    • US 219 from I-90 to Peters Rd
    • NY 400 from NY 16 to I-90
    • I-990 from I-290 to NY 263

    Thruway Highways:

    Currently, Western New York and the counties along Lakes Erie and Ontario are forecasted to experience the strongest of the damaging winds. Gusts have increased across Western New York throughout Sunday morning, and will continue to spread across the Finger Lakes, Central New York and North Country Regions as the day progresses. Wind gusts will rapidly increase up to 75 mph across Chautauqua County, the northern Niagara Frontier, Rochester and in Jefferson County behind the front. Strong winds over Lake Erie and Lake Ontario will also likely drive an increase in water level along the shoreline, as well as create significant blowing snow with reduced visibilities Sunday night and Monday morning.

    One to three inches of snow is forecasted in the Western New York and Finger Lakes regions, and eight to twelve inches is expected in the Tug Hill Plateau region due to Lake effect germinated snow. With wind and snow combined, there will be Blizzard Warnings for Oswego, Jefferson and Lewis Counties.

    Forecasts are projecting that maximum wind gusts will reach 45 mph in New York City and on Long Island; 50 mph in the Mid-Hudson, Capital, Mohawk Valley, Central New York and Southern Tier Regions; 70 mph across the North Country; and 75 mph in the Western New York and Finger Lakes Regions.

    The National Weather Service has already posted High Wind Watches and Warnings for the majority of the state. Additionally, Lakeshore Flood Watches will be in effect Sunday into Monday for the counties east of Lakes Erie and Ontario as the powerful winds will create significant wave action. For a complete listing of weather watches, warnings, advisories and latest forecasts, visit the National Weather Service website.

    Motorists are reminded that State Law mandates that if an intersection is "blacked out" and the traffic signal is not operational, the intersection is automatically a "four way" stop. In the event of closed or blocked roadways due to flooding, downed power lines or debris, motorists are advised to exercise caution and obey all traffic signs or barricades in place, regardless of whether a roadway looks clear.

    Agency Preparations

    Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services

    The Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services will activate the State Emergency Operations Center to enhanced monitoring mode on Sunday morning to closely track the weather system and its impacts. The Division is also coordinating with state agencies and local governments to ensure resources from the State's ten regional stockpiles are available for deployment throughout the storm.

The Department's Call Center Helpline can be reached by calling (800) 342-3377. Department staff will monitor and report on storm impacts and utility restoration activities throughout the event and will be present in the field, as needed.

    Department staff will continue to monitor the utilities' efforts during the restoration period. The utilities are prepared to respond to power disruptions throughout the event.

    New York Power Authority

    The New York Power Authority (NYPA) has prepared its facilities and operations for the forecasted weather, including high winds. In Niagara, NYPA had staged equipment to prepare for any necessary ice boom repairs and for any needed ice breaking activity.

    Safety Tips

    To prepare for potential power outages, New Yorkers should:

    • Have a list of emergency numbers readily available.
    • At home or at work, keep a battery-operated radio and flashlight on hand, as well as a supply of batteries. Keep an emergency supply of water, medications, and non-perishable foods handy. If you use medication that requires refrigeration, most can be kept in a closed refrigerator for several hours without a problem - check with your physician or pharmacist.
    • Make sure you have alternative charging methods for your phone or any device that requires power. Charge cell phones and any battery-powered devices.
    • If you have space in your refrigerator or freezer, consider filling plastic containers with water, leaving an inch of space inside each one - this will help keep food cold if the power goes out.
    • If you have an electric garage door opener, locate the manual release level and learn how to operate it.
    • Keep your car's gas tank at least half-full; gas stations rely on electricity to power their pumps. If you use your car to re-charge devices, do not keep the car running in a garage, partially enclosed space, or close to a home - this can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
    • Plan to have an alternative cooking source, such as a camp stove or outdoor grill. Follow appropriate safety rules for its use outside the residence.
    • If you are considering a generator for your home, consult an electrician or engineer before purchasing and installing.
    • Have extra blankets, coats, hats, and gloves on hand to keep warm.
    • If you have a computer, back up files and operating systems regularly. Turn off all computers, monitors, and other devices when they are not being used.
    • If you rely on anything that is battery-operated or power dependent such as a medical device, determine a back-up plan. For example, if you have a telephone that requires electricity to work, plan for alternate communication such as a standard telephone handset, cell phone, or radio.
    • Learn about emergency plans in your area, including the location of the closest cooling and warming shelters, by visiting your state's or local website.

    If experiencing a power outage, New Yorkers should:

    • Turn off or disconnect major appliances and other equipment, e.g., computers, in case of a momentary power surge that can damage these devices. Keep one light turned on so you know when power returns. Consider using surge protectors wherever you use electronic equipment.
    • Call your utility provider to notify them of the outage and listen to local broadcasts for official information. For a list of utilities in NYS visit the New York State Department of Public Service.
    • Check to see if your neighbors have power. Check on people with access or functional needs.
    • Use only flashlights for emergency lighting - candles pose the risk of fire.
    • Keep refrigerators and freezer doors closed - most food requiring refrigeration can be kept safely in a closed refrigerator for several hours. An unopened refrigerator will keep food cold for approximately four (4) hours. A full freezer will keep the temperature for about 48 hours.
    • Do not use a charcoal grill indoors and do not use a gas stove for heat - they could give off harmful levels of carbon monoxide.
    • In cold weather, stay warm by dressing in layers and minimizing time spent outdoors. Be aware of cold stress symptoms (i.e., hypothermia) and seek proper medical attention if symptoms appear.
    • In intense heat, consider going to a movie theater, shopping mall or cooling shelter. If you remain at home, move to the lowest level - cool air falls. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and drink plenty of water, even if you do not feel thirsty.
    • If you are in a tall building, take the stairs and move to the lowest level of the building. If trapped in an elevator, wait for assistance. Do not attempt to force the doors open. Remain patient - there is plenty of air and the interior of the elevator is designed for passenger safety.
    • Remember to provide fresh, cool water for your pets.
    • Eliminate unnecessary travel, especially by car. Traffic signals will stop working during an outage, creating traffic congestion and dangerous driving conditions. If you must drive during a blackout, remember to obey the 4-way stop rule at intersections with non-functioning traffic signals.
    • Remember that equipment such as automated teller machines (ATMs) and elevators may not be working.
    • If the power may be out for a prolonged period, plan to go to another location, such as the home of a relative or friend, or a public facility that has heat.
