2006 Video re Hurricane Preparedness & Roosevelt Island

While it appears that Hurrican Earl will not be the be menace it was predicted for NYC the below post from February 19, 2009 is worth repeating. Most island residents still feel unsure what they would do in case of a hurricane hitting the island in light of our defined and limited ways off the island.....

As previously posted:

The above video is from a 2006 meeting regarding hurricane preparedness on Roosevelt Island. I stumbled upon it this evening and wanted obviously to post it here. The video was prepared by Manhattan Community Board 8 and was of a CB8M Public Safety meeting they held on Roosevelt Island in the Good Shepherd Community Center. The video is presented on a channel labeled CB8M Speaks.

I don't recall too many individuals feeling that the meeting answered all their questions but the video is clearly worth watching by all residents that were not there that afternoon.

One Good Push Deserves Another....

Anne over at the blog "The Unemployment Benefits" tells the story of how she helped one Roosevelt Island wheel chair bound resident down Main Street all the way onto the subway and what she learned from her good deed.

It's a very nice story, now go read it, and Anne we thank you for your kindness.
