U.S. Rep Gregory W. Meeks Statement on New York City's Preparedness for the First Major Snow Storm of the Season

Statement

Congressman Gregory Meeks released the following statement regarding New York City's preparedness for the first major snow storm of the season:

"I commend Mayor de Blasio, Governor Cuomo, and all local and state entities that collaborated to ensure that all necessary precautions were taken so that all New Yorkers were safe during the first winter storm of the season. In instances such as these, the only viable course of action is to heed the warnings of meteorologists and prepare for the worst.

"Two years after Super Storm Sandy decimated parts of my district, we have made considerable gains but we are still rebuilding and working to become whole again. I thank the Mayor for going to great lengths to ensure that New York City was well prepared to prevent suffering in that tragic way again."
