Senator Serrano Hosts Emergency Preparedness Training Throughout The District

On the East Coast, hurricane season typically lasts from June until November, with New York City most at risk between August and October. This past month, Senator Serrano offered off-site constituent services hours focused on preparing residents of the 29th Senate District for emergency situations and natural disasters. On select days, the office partnered with Governor Cuomo's Citizen Preparedness Corps, New York City Emergency Management (NYCEM), and the American Red Cross to host training courses and information sessions. Participants who completed the training sessions led by the National Guard of the Citizen Preparedness Corps, received a free backpack with emergency supplies.

"Emergencies can happen at any time, so it's important to be prepared as soon as possible in order to respond and recover effectively. That's why it has been my pleasure to host these comprehensive training sessions throughout the community, in conjunction with Governor Cuomo. Many thanks to the Governor's Citizen Preparedness Corps and organizations such as NYC Emergency Management and the Red Cross for teaching residents of the 29th Senate District how to be ready for an emergency or natural disaster."
