Statement on Nor’ Eastern Storm Nemo and State of Emergency
February 8, 2013: 6:00 pm
BEACON, NY- As Nor’ Eastern Storm Nemo continues to strengthen, the City ofBeacon Office of Emergency Management is urging all residents to stay in their homes and shelter in place. This storm is capable of producing sustained winds of 10-20miles per hour with gusts in excess of 40 miles per hour along with wind driven snow.Snowfall rates may be in excess of 1-2 inches an hour.
Due to the high winds, excessive snowfall amounts and the possibility of large scale power outages, effective at 8:00 pm tonight Randy Casale, Mayor of the City of Beacon, has declared a State of Emergency until 10:00 am tomorrow (2/9) morning. We need all vehicles to be moved off the city streets to insure that plow trucks and emergency vehicles can get through. Further we ask that all residents stay in the safety of their homes until the storm passes. City of Beacon Emergency Officials are monitoring the situation closely and are prepared to respond. This storm has the potential to produce high winds and when coupled with snowfall amounts in excess of 12-18 inches, trees and limbs are likely to fall taking down power lines with them and resulting in power outages.
City of Beacon Emergency Officials have been contacted by Central Hudson andCentral Hudson has assured us they are actively prepared for the storm response.
