1. Preparing before disaster strikes (liherald.com) — Glen Cove officials are urging residents to firm up emergency plans, stock multi-day supplies, and protect important documents from the flooding and heavy rain the city can face.

2. Glen Cove launches a cigarette and litter recycling initiative (liherald.com) — Glen Cove is rolling out a new cigarette-litter recycling program after its Beautification Litter Prevention Program secured a $15,000 grant from Keep America Beautiful.

3. Glen Cove Police Department seek hometown recruits (liherald.com) — Glen Cove's police department is now accepting applications for its entry-level officer exam, with registration due by Sept. 11 and a strong push to recruit local residents and Glen Cove High graduates.

5. Races on Long Island could help decide control of Congress (newsday.com) — Long Island's congressional races, including Tom Suozzi of Glen Cove seeking reelection in the 3rd District, could help decide which party controls the U.S. House.
