Feiner Reports on neighboring Greenburgh Situation
WPCNR THE FEINER REPORT. From Town of Greenburgh Supervisor Paul Feiner. August 28, 2011:
I will be inspecting flood related problem areas with the police within the hour. The following list contains the most recent road closures as of 10:30 AM.
Please be advised that it IS STILL UNSAFE TO DRIVE AROUND THE TOWN (OF GREENBURGH). The ground is soggy and the trees could be unstable. If you hit a downed wire you could be electrocuted. You are safer in your home.
I am in constant communication with Con Ed. I know that they are trying hard to restore power as soon as possible to the families who have experienced outages. I will be pleased to work with every household that has experienced power outages –trying to help you get your service restored quickly.
I have also been on the phone with United States Congresswoman Nita Lowey and County Executive Rob Astorino. They offered to be of help. The Congresswoman indicated that a number of the members of the House of Representatives want to cut reimbursements to local governments for emergency relief efforts. She believes that the funding is important and will lobby the Congress to continue the funding. A storm like this results in significant overtime expenses to all local governments.
