President Joe Biden announced Saturday he will travel to Manville, New Jersey, and Queens, New York, on Tuesday to survey the catastrophic effects of Hurricane Ida and its remnants.
In New York, subways began running Friday, but north of the city, train services remained stalled as mud covered tracks. Transportation services weren't expected to be restored in the Hudson Valley until early next week.
Illegally converted apartments often have no escape route for emergencies, poor ventilation, and improper electrical work, all of which can create additional dangers during extreme weather events,He said the city would create a cellphone alert system or use door-to-door evacuations for basement apartment residents, adding officials would work with community organizations to reach vulnerable residents. But first, he said, the city needs to build a database of these apartments.
The city would provide transportation starting Saturday for those needing public shelter, Cantell added. Entergy estimates full power restoration by Sept. 29 or even longer for some parts of Louisiana after Ida damaged or destroyed a "staggering" 22,000 power poles, Entergy President and CEO Phillip May said, adding that this number is more than hurricanes Katrina, Zeta and Delta combined.
