The recommendations we make will be forwarded to Con Ed and to federal, state, county and local officials. The Governor has also appointed a Commission to come up with recommendations. I wrote a letter to the new co-chairs and advised them of the work of our commission. We will also reach out to the Public Service Commission, Attorney General and other officials. We must lobby for changes so the nightmare we experienced during the long power outages is not repeated in the future.
Meeting
will be held in the cafeteria at Town Hall. We're looking for people with ideas,
residents who are willing to meet with other public officials, help with
lobbying, organizing and research.
FEMA
ADVISED that those who suffered losses have till the end of the year to apply
for reimbursements. They incorrectly advised residents at the Town
Board meeting last week that the deadline was in February.
WANT
TO HELP OUT WHEN THERE IS AN EMERGENCY?
The
best way you can help out is to join the CERT team. The Cert team prepares for
disasters. They have a group of volunteers who meet during the year. The CERT
team volunteers at emergency shelters (like Hurricane Sandy) --providing
assistance to those who are looking for a warm and safe place to stay. They also
have organized some blood drives during the year. They are a terrific group of
people--very dedicated, helpful and caring.
Peter
Edelson, 'pedelson@att.net' is the captain of the
CERT team. He is a volunteer. Peter Dandreano (pdandreano@greenburghny.com) is
the police officer who is assigned to the team. Please advise them of your
interest in joining a great group.
