PSEG Long Island, town, and county officials are preparing for Sunday’s storm.
Tree trimmers contracted by the utility cut down weak limbs and branches in Port Washington to prevent them from falling during the storm and knocking out power lines.
In the Town of Hempstead, the town supervisor says they have crews out making sure storm drains are clear to prevent flooding on local roadways.
Officials are asking residents to take the proper precautions before the storm.
“Secure any loose items around your homes. Specifically remember those Halloween decorations that may be out we certainly don’t want those flying throughout the neighborhoods, garbage pails or anything else that’s loose," said Hempstead Town Supervisor John Ferretti.
