Officials on the East End are making plans for how to handle Henri as the storm carves a path toward Long Island.

East Hampton Town Supervisor Peter Van Scoyoc says the emergency preparedness team has been activated and has started planning for the storm.

Families trying to enjoy a weekend in Montauk will also be impacted by the storm. Hither Hills State Park has been closed ahead of the storm.

"We're the easternmost town on Long Island and oftentimes the storms just go offshore and the back quadrant off the storm can also produce some of the most severe winds," says Van Scoyoc.

Van Scoyoc says the East End might be the most severely impacted and urges people to make sure they have supplies such as batteries and water.

In the town of Southampton, public safety and emergency management officials say beach erosion, street flooding and power outages are the main concerns for the area.

"We know that we're probably going to see water in what we've started to refer to as all the usual places," says Ryan Murphy, the Southampton Town Emergency Manager. "Dune Road is probably going to have water on it, it's very low lying. Areas up in the Flanders and Riverside area we expect we're going to see some water. Unfortunately, the storm is timing itself with the full moon, so we have elevated tide levels because of the full moon coupled with the storm surge."

East End officials say rip currents will also be bad now through at least Monday, so avoid swimming this weekend.
