📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Sachem who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

Here are the top stories in Sachem today:
- Suffolk officials plan ahead with drill for another emergency. The tabletop drill will be held today by Naval Postgraduate School Center for Homeland Defense and Security."Tabletop exercises have been vital to the county's response during previous emergencies, including during the COVID-19 pandemic, and this latest event will help us sharpen our disaster response and ensure all departments work in a coordinated fashion," County Executive Steve Bellone said.

- Tonight, expect heavy rain and potential flooding. Up to 1.5 inches of rain may drench Long Island with rain starting after 2 p.m. "The main threat from this rainfall will be from minor urban and poor drainage flooding," the National Weather Service said. "Localized flash flooding is possible, especially [this] evening." (Patch)
