Richard Kessel, LIPA Chairman; “Whether it’s a major storm or a terrorist attack, Long Islanders must be ready to respond and cope. We appreciate the fact that major businesses and municipal governments across the island, as well as residential customers took the time to plan ahead for an emergency."

“It’s vitally important that we all know what to do in an emergency and we need to be able to take action at a moment’s notice. Today’s Island-wide drill helps to drive home that message” said Michael Balboni, State Senator
 

“Just as KeySpan’s workforce readies all year long through drill and training classes, we hope that Long Islanders take this opportunity to create their own emergency plan and ensure that it works for them.”  said Anthony Nozzolillo, Keyspan
