The National Weather Service has issued a Wind Advisory for our area from Sunday night through Monday afternoon. Winds are predicted of up to 60 miles per hour.
Wind Preparations
Be sure your property (including construction sites) is secure. The City is taking precautions in parks and areas along the waterfront to remove any loose items (including garbage cans). Those items will be returned once the storm has ended,
Bring in unsecured objects from patios and balconies and secure outdoor objects such as lawn furniture or garbage cans that could blow away and cause damage or injury.
The safest place to be during high winds is indoors. If at all possible postpone outdoor activities during a wind advisory or high wind warning.
Watch for flying debris. Tree limbs may break and street signs may become loose during strong wind gusts. Keep an eye toward nearby balconies for loose objects that may fall.
Report downed lines to 201-420-2004 (Hoboken Fire Department). Do not try to free lines or to remove debris yourself.
Avoid anything that may be touching downed lines, including vehicles or tree branches. Puddles and even wet or snow-covered ground can conduct electricity in some cases. Warn others to stay away.
