“Nassau County is ready in the event of a hurricane. We are taking every precaution to ensure the safety of all residents,” said Nassau County Executive Thomas Suozzi.

 

"The joining together of KeySpan with National Grid has special significance when it comes to preparing for hurricanes and other emergencies. As part of a larger, stronger, more expansive company, we will be able to supplement our highly skilled work force on Long Island with additional resources to ensure we are prepared for whatever comes our way, " said Robert B. Catell, Chairman of National Grid USA.

 

“One of the inherent dangers in emergency preparedness is that the early warnings that begin 48-72 hours in advance of a storm often go unheeded by the public until the clouds thicken and the winds kick up,” said Joseph F. Williams, Commissioner Suffolk County Department of Fire Rescue & Emergency Services;
