Parts of Suffolk County received more than nine inches of rainfall - TopicsExpress



          

Parts of Suffolk County received more than nine inches of rainfall in a two-hour period this morning, more than any other recorded storm in New York State history. The impact of the storm caused major flooding, multiple road closures and unsafe conditions. However, our coordination and communication with Governor Andrew Cuomo’s office, Suffolk County Fire Rescue and Emergency Services, Suffolk County Police Department, New York State Department of Transportation and local municipalities and fire departments allowed us to respond with immediate and decisive action. In some cases we had first responders on scene within two minutes. I want to thank all our emergency personnel for the hard work and life-saving efforts they put forth this morning. suffolkcountyny.gov/Departments/CountyExecutive/tabid/101/ctl/details/itemid/2648/mid/876/bellone-declares-state-of-emergency-in-wake-of-flashfloods-and-unprecented-rain.aspx
