NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. – New Rochelle’s state of emergency has been lifted, officials have announced.
Power has also been restored to most residents. Con Ed may have to briefly shut off power in certain neighborhoods so permanent repairs can be made during the weeks ahead, the city said.
Residents need to call Con Ed directly at 1-800-75-CONED to report any new outages.
Federal Emergency Management Agency representatives will be available at the New Rochelle Public Library from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday.
They also will be available at the county center from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
Fall leaf collection will continue as scheduled. Residents are asked to bundle storm debris separately so it can be picked up quickly and will not interfere with leaf removal.
The City of New Rochelle issues updates through its website, Facebook page and Twitter feed, NRTV Cable Channel 75 and FIOS Channel 28 and automated phone and email messages. Residents can subscribe to receive these emergency alerts directly through the city’s website.
The city said it expects to participate in the state public service commission hearings to discuss Con Edison’s performance.
“Improvements must be made before the next major storm hits. We are grateful for the hard work of the utility crews that helped our region recover, many of which came from hundreds of miles away, and of our emergency services and public works teams,” the city said in statement.
“We offer thanks to the many New Rochelle residents who supported their neighbors and demonstrated exceptional patience throughout this difficult experience,” officials said.
