Somers Extends State Of Emergency Again

The Town of Somers has extended the State of Emergency until Saturday, March 10, 2018. Officials said approximately 60 percent of town residents remain without power. NYSEG crews are finally in Somers and working feverishly. The emergency shelter at the Heritage Hills Activity Center will remain open; 28 people stayed there Monday night.

If needed, a secondary shelter will be opened at the Somers Middle School. If you need a ride to the shelter call 914-277-3651.

From the Town of Somers:

The shelter director, Dave Jacobs, has reported he is in need of volunteers. If you are interested contact him directly at 914-224-3358. The shelter is a critical facility and we are in dire need to keep it operational.

All traffic signals in the Town have traffic cones to control traffic, are on generators or are functioning.

Dry ice and water distribution will continue today at the Somers Intermediate School until 7 p.m. Tuesday.

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for the area. With the current Storm Warning in effect, we are cautioning residents with portable generations to check operating directions as these generators should not be used in inclement weather without the proper coverings.
