]]> MAYOR MARK A. SMITH HAS DECLARED A STATE OF EMERGENCY IN THE CITY OF BAYONNE, EFFECTIVE AT 6:00 P.M. SUNDAY NIGHT. WE ASK THAT ALL NON-ESSENTIAL VEHICLES STAY OFF THE ROADS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. HIGH WINDS AND HEAVY RAINS ARE EXPECTED. THE CITY OF BAYONNE IS ASKING RESIDENTS TO AVOID PARKING IN AREAS THAT HAVE FLOODED IN THE PAST. WE SUGGEST THAT RESIDENTS IN FLOOD-PRONE AREAS MOVE THEIR VEHICLES TO PUBLIC SCHOOL PARKING LOTS. ALL PUBLIC SCHOOL PARKING LOTS WILL BE OPEN FOR PUBLIC PARKING DURING THE EMERGENCY, BEGINNING AT 6:00 P.M. SUNDAY.

WE ARE ESTABLISHING SHELTERS AT TWO PUBLIC SCHOOLS BEGINNING AT 8:00 A.M. MONDAY. THOSE TWO SCHOOLS ARE NICHOLAS ORSEKO SCHOOL AT 24TH STREET AND AVENUE E, AND MIDTOWN COMMUNITY SCHOOL AT 23RD STREET AND AVENUE A.

 

IF YOU NEED HELP BEING TRANSPORTED TO ONE OF THESE SCHOOLS ON MONDAY, PLEASE CALL THE BOARD OF EDUCATION TOMORROW AFTER 8:00 A.M. AT EITHER 201-858-5805 OR 201-858-6281. AT ANY TIME, YOU MAY ALSO CALL THE MAIN BAYONNE POLICE NUMBER, WHICH IS 201-858-6900.

 

PLEASE MOVE PATIO FURNITURE, GRILLS, UMBRELLAS, AND OTHER LOOSE OBJECTS INSIDE TO PREVENT THEM FROM BECOMING AIRBORNE IN THE HIGH WINDS. KEEP GROUNDS AND BALCONIES CLEAR.

 

LOCAL DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES WILL BE ON THE JOB TO HELP RESIDENTS DURING THE STORM.
