All kidding aside, how well is the villager Ridgewood equipped with emergency equipment, and personnel. If the storm hits the village , Like when we had storm Floyd, was just water, Storm Irene, and storm Sandy, That was just wind. The village did not replace many individuals in departments that has experience and training for storm like this. Believe me the villages understaffed To handle anything anything like this. I strongly suggest get contractors all inline just in case, just thinking out loud.
You are right these new bee s Have no idea what to do, what are they going to do go to the book: yea hello,
Nearly five years post Sandy I have heard nothing about emergency preparations. I had to go to a school in Ho-Ho-Kus to charge my computer and phone. It was nice–they even had cots and were serving food. C’mon, town, it’s past time to get something in place and advertise it widely. The logical places for a shelter would be Village Hall and the library but oops, both are in the flood zone. So please figure it out right away and get something going before we have another catastrophe, although if it were Irma it would be too late.
12:19 was it a catastrophe because you had to go to Ho-Ho-Kus to charge your phone? You might want to look up the definition of perspective. Then try to get some.
@12:19 get a car charger. Or id the car isn’t a jalopy it most likely has a USB port to charge your phone.
The village will not be ready, ?
Where can i go pick up sandbags I don’t want to wait last minute just in case the storm comes here. I live on worn place in last time it was terribleI would like to go pick up sandbags and fill bags up myself this week thank you
