The Suffolk County Department of Fire Rescue and Emergency Services has contracted with Emergency Communications Network to license its CodeRED high-speed notification system. Suffolk will use this system to contact Suffolk Residence in the event of an actual or impending emergency, like Hurricane Earl.
The CodeRED emergency notification system is an extremely high speed telephone communication service that can deliver customized pre-recorded emergency messages directly to SuffolkCounty homes and business at the proven capacity of millions of calls per day. Code Red also has high speed email and text messaging capability
The CodeRED system incorporates a mapping tool that will allow Suffolk Emergency Managers to send notifications to specific geographic areas by selecting them on a map. In addition with CodeRED we will be able to send notifications to predefined geographic areas such as villages, townships or zip codes.
CodeRED has provided SuffolkCounty with a calling data base that includes the residences and businesses within the county. To further enhance accuracy SuffolkCounty has supplemented this database with the data from our 911 call system. In addition the Suffolk Code Red system allows Suffolk residence to register two phone numbers and one email address to receive notifications. We urge all individuals and businesses to log onto the secure Suffolk County Community Notification Enrolment to add or update their contact information to ensure that they will be included when a message is sent. The data collected will only be used for emergency notification purposes.

Hurricane Earl, the second major hurricane of 2010, is moving away from the Northern Leeward Islands. Residents along the U.S. East Coast should follow Earl closely to see what impacts the hurricane will bring Thursday and Friday. Long Island may be impacted by Earl and current weather conditions call for a 30-40% chance that Suffolk County will face a Tropical Storm come this Friday, September 3rd.
What is the differnece between Watches and Warnings?
- TROPICAL STORM WATCH: An announcement that tropical storm conditions (sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph) are possible within the specified coastal area within 48 hours.
- TROPICAL STORM WARNING: An announcement that tropical storm conditions (sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph) are expected somewhere within the specified coastal area within 36 hours.
- HURRICANE WATCH: An announcement that hurricane conditions (sustained winds of 74 mph or higher) are possible within the specified coastal area. Because hurricane preparedness activities become difficult once winds reach tropical storm force, the hurricane watch is issued 48 hours in advance of the anticipated onset of tropical-storm-force winds.
- HURRICANE WARNING: An announcement that hurricane conditions (sustained winds of 74 mph or higher) are expected somewhere within the specified coastal area. Because hurricane preparedness activities become difficult once winds reach tropical storm force, the hurricane warning is issued 36 hours in advance of the anticipated onset of tropical-storm-force winds.

Dear Business Owner,
We would like to take this opportunity to ask you to help the USGBC-LI support the PACE Assessment Protection Act. The first PACE program in the nation designed to address energy efficiency was founded right here in Babylon , Long Island in 2008. These programs are expanding businesses, creating jobs, saving energy, eliminating tons of carbon dioxide emissions and helping our fellow homeowners across the country.
Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) finance programs are a local government solution that helps home and business owners finance energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements. By providing owners with long-term financing options that are repaid through an assessment on property taxes, PACE provides financial security for home and business owners, creates jobs in the home improvement industry, and boosts manufacturing of clean and efficient technologies and products.
PACE has tremendous potential to create tens of thousands of local jobs, cut energy bills, reduce mortgage default risk, and dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions by spurring investment in clean energy improvements.
The U.S. Green Building Council - Long Island Chapter has created a page on our website for the PACE Assessment Protection Act where we posted a copy of the letter from the U.S. Green Building Council. At the bottom is a simple form where the USGBC-LI is collecting "signatures" from companies all over the country. We would like to ask business owners or representatives to visit the page and signup their business to the list on the USGBC-LI website. Also we would ask if you would please forward this email to all your contacts and friends who would be in position to sign the form. Considering that the PACE program, through the Long Island Green Homes Project, started on Long Island we are asking for your help to make the USGBC-LI the leaders throughout the Nation in garnering the much needed support from all our friends on Long Island and across the country. This affects all Americans. Time is of the essence. This campaign ends on August 25th, 2010 (the day after the USGBC-LI Clam Bake).
- Green building will support 7.9 million U.S. jobs and pump $554 million into the American economy over the next few years (2009-2013)
- Buildings represent 38.9% of U.S. primary energy use (includes fuel input for production)
- Buildings are one of the heaviest consumers of natural resources and account for a significant portion of the greenhouse gas emissions that affect climate change. In the U.S., buildings account for 38% of all CO2 emissions
- Buildings represent 72% of U.S electricity consumption
- Buildings use 13.6% of all potable water, or 15 trillion gallons per year
- Buildings use 40% of raw materials globally (3 billion tons annually)
- The EPA estimates that 170 Million tons of building-related construction and demolition (C&D) debris was generated in the U.S. in 2003, with 61% coming from nonresidential and 39% from residential sources
How to "Sign-On":
Businesses do not need to sign a hard copy or provide a signature. The support is being collected electronically, so they can simply go to
USGBC-LI website to read the letter and fill out their company name and address or (less preferable choice) email
PACE@usgbc-li.org with their company name and address if they would like their business to be represented on the letter. They only need to send their business name and address which will indicate their willingness to sign onto the letter - that's it!
There is a section at the bottom of the on-line form that asks where/how you found out about this important initiative. Please be sure and ask that this also be filled out - ex. from a USGBC-LI email, or I was asked by someone from one of the USGBC-LI committees, or through an organization, or I was asked by "John Doe of xyz", etc. It will be very helpful to us in the future.
Note: we need business names, not names of any individuals.What's Next?USGBC national will then compile all of the businesses from around the country and put them all on one letter that will be sent to Congress in September. We will post that letter on the
USGBC-LI website in September.
If you are a business owner please do NOT send the letters yourself - this is a group letter being compiled at
USGBC headquarters.
Thank you for showing your support. Please do not hesitate to contact the
USGBC-LI for further information.

Albany, N.Y. -- Bayville, located on the northernmost tip of Nassau County, escaped storm damage from the March nor’easter because of Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) projects. These were undertaken 12 years ago when a storm drainage system, leaching pits and a retaining wall project were constructed. Hazard mitigation grants, which are administered by New York State, fund projects designed to reduce the likelihood of damage from floods and severe weather.
The north side of Bayville Avenue along the coastal shoreline of Long Island Sound had a history of erosion that if left unchecked could have caused a breach or failure of Bayville Avenue, and eliminated the only road access into the Village of Centre Island.
The grant funded the installation of an 800-foot retaining wall along the shoreline, which stabilized the area and ensured that about 450 residents of the Village of Centre Island would have access to critical facilities and emergency services during severe storms.
HMGP also funded a drainage project in an area of the village bounded on the north by Long Island Sound and on the south by Oyster Bay Harbor, where severe flooding recurred after significant rainfall and coastal storm events. The flood waters, combined with higher than usual tides, caused Long Island Sound to swell and back up along the village’s north shore as there was no outlet for the tidal flood water.
To combat this problem, street drainage structures, leaching pools, overflow and outfall piping equipped with tidal check valves, were installed. These enhancements permitted the water to drain into Oyster Bay. Nick Campagnola, a village resident, stated that “the drainage system definitely helped improve the conditions after a storm” he added, “without the system we would really be in trouble.”
“The benefit this work has provided to residents is significant,” said Douglas G. Watson, mayor of Bayville. “The drainage system was designed to drain water from low-lying streets in the project area, and succeeded in preventing flooding from severe rain events such as last March’s nor’easter. The system left the streets safely free of standing water in a short time. We are very happy with the way it has worked out.”
“These enhancements have withstood severe weather conditions,” Watson added.

URGENT!An Air Quality Action Day is forecast in our region for today (Friday, July 16, 2010).
The New York State Department of Transportation has declared that today (Friday, July 16, 2010) is an Air Quality Action
Day in the downstate metro area due to forecasted high levels of
ground-level ozone pollution in parts of the region (please visit
the Clean Air NY Web site for more information
http://www.cleanairny.org/LocalAirQuality/Default.aspx). While
today is still a day when people can go about most of
their normal activities, such as going to work, driving may be
one of the most polluting activities that you do today, and we
encourage everyone to leave their cars at home if possible.
Ground-level ozone is a respiratory irritant that can trigger
asthma attacks and aggravate emphysema, bronchitis and other
respiratory ailments. Children, people with pre-existing
respiratory or heart conditions, people doing strenuous outdoor
work or exercise and the elderly are particularly vulnerable to
the effects of ozone.
Here are several simple steps you can take on Air Quality Action
Days to prevent pollution:
Combine errands into a single trip, rather than separate trips.
This can help save time and reduce the amount of pollution
emitted from your vehicle.
Take the subway, bus or train when possible.
Postpone unnecessary trips. Avoiding motor vehicle trips on Air
Quality Action Days will prevent the formation of air pollution.
Refuel your vehicle in the evening when it's cooler outside.
Avoid letting your vehicle idle, such as at the fast food or bank
teller drive-thru.
Postpone using gas-powered gardening equipment such as lawn
mowers on Air Quality Action Days. Wait for a day when air
quality is better.

Release Date: July 14, 2010
Release Number: 1899-014
Albany, N.Y. -- Federal and state officials today announced that the incident period of the severe storms has been re-opened to cover the period from March 13 - March 31, 2010 and three additonal counties -- Otsego, Schoharie, and Warren - have been added to the declaration.
"I am pleased that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) quickly reviewed the information gathered by state and local officials and approved Governor Paterson's request. The longer incident period will provide needed reimbursement for communities as they repair damages caused by the severe March weather," said Andrew Feeney Director, New York State Office of Emergency Management (NYS OEM).
Otsego, Schoharie, and Warren Counties join Nassau, Orange, Richmond, Rockland, Suffolk, and Westchester Counties, in being declared disaster areas.
The amendment and additional counties to the incident period have been granted in response to Governor Paterson's appeal of June 29, 2010. The previous incident period was March 13-15. “By helping local and state governments recover, federal disaster assistance has a positive impact on those communites,” said Federal Coordinating Officer Albie Lewis.
Government entities and certain private non-profits in the additional three counties may be eligible for federal aid through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA's) Public Assistance Program. Aid may be available in one or more of the following seven categories: Debris Removal; Emergency Protective Measures; Road Systems and Bridges; Water Control Facilities; Public Buildings and Contents; Public Utilities, and Parks, Recreational and Other.
Federal funding is available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard mitigation measures for all counties and tribes within the state. FEMA funds 75 percent of eligible costs.

EAST MEADOW, N.Y., June 20 /PRNewswire/ -- ABC's Emmy-winning hit show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition has selected the Lutz family of East Setauket, NY, in the Town of Brookhaven as the recipient of a Long Island Extreme Makeover set to begin this Tuesday. The show helps change the lives of families and inspire remarkable community support, traveling around the country each week, by finding a local builder to help bring a community together to build a new home for a deserving family in less than a week.
Unlike the show's traditional early morning door knock, Ty Pennington made the announcement to the family at Yankee Stadium on the Jumbotron prior to the NY Yankees vs. the NY Mets game this afternoon. Sal Ferro, President/CEO Alure Home of Alure Home Improvements, stormed the field from the dugout followed by hundreds of blue shirt volunteer workers to join Pennington along with the rest of the show's design team and several New York Yankees baseball players.
Unable to have any children of their own, loving couple Grace and John Lutz gave their hearts to 18 adopted kids in all, including seven with Down Syndrome. After the couple passed away, their daughter Kathleen, gladly gave up her career and came home to take care of her six Down siblings who currently range in age from 20 to 25 years old. Everyone agreed that putting the kids in a group home or institution was not an option. It was a good plan, until Kathleen unexpectedly had a grand mal seizure and was diagnosed with inoperable cancer. Her brother John Jr., was next at bat, sacrificing his successful career as a gymnastics coach to move home and care for his sister and other siblings. Kathleen's health is now stabilized and both brother and sister care for their family as a team. Nothing can dampen the spirits of this cheerful group. They love to sing and dance, cook and play games together. However, the crumbling condition of their 40-year-old home has become a concern. The electrical is unsafe, water leaks everywhere and there is mold and rotting wood. Everybody in town loves this charming and special family. They are local celebrities and the community rallies and have taken place to help them in every way. Unfortunately, their home is at a point where the band-aids are not enough. The Down siblings will not grow up and move away, they will not have the ability to marry or to drive cars. They need their home to be a safe and permanent one, with everything on hand to accommodate their special needs.
Alure Home Improvements of East Meadow N.Y., has volunteered to lead the build. This is Alure's eighth project for the inspiring show since 2004. While Alure is the main builder and a major contributor, each of the makeovers rely on numerous volunteers and on tremendous community support. All of Long Island is invited to witness this amazing experience. Alure is encouraging the entire Long Island community to come out and support the crews working 24/7 to build a new home for this deserving family. While over 1000 volunteers have already signed up, there still may be more unexpected needs as the build begins on Tuesday.
Alure will also coordinate a food drive for the INN (Interfaith Nutrition Network) who will collect canned or packaged food donations at the makeover site all week long. The company is also working on facilitating a special project to provide children under the age of (18) eighteen (who normally are not allowed to work on the site due to safety reasons) an opportunity to get involved with helping to create some type of artwork that will be presented as gift to the family at the end of the week.
"We are thrilled that Extreme Makeover: Home Edition has selected a Long Island family for this makeover and we are excited to not only make a difference in the lives of the deserving Lutz family, but to also play a major role in inspiring the Long Island community to come together for a great cause. Even before the family was announced, we've been overwhelmed with a huge amount of community support from Long Islanders wanting to help without them even having any idea of who they would be helping. Seeing the love and support surrounding this family will make this experience even that much more special," Sal Ferro.
The location address is: 12 Ringneck Lane, East Setauket, NY 11733
Parking to access the site is at 17 N Belle Mead in East Setauket. Shuttles will be provided when the spectator area opens sometime on Tuesday. Check the fan page Monday for more information.
MEDIA - There will be a builder-family Press conference at 6pm today at the house, where Sal Ferro, the family and the executives from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition will be available.

Advanced Restoration Corporation is a proud member company of Disaster Kleenup International (DKI). DKI is North America's largest disaster restoration services organization made up of a network of the leading independently owned and operated disaster restoration companies with over 400 hundred locations throughout North America.
Sustainable development is the most vibrant and powerful force to impact the building design and construction field in more than a decade. And Building Deconstruction is the first step in the sustainable building process.
Building Deconstruction is much more labor intensive than standard bulldozer style demolition.
Great care must be taken to preserve the value of the materials that we are deconstructing. Most contractors do not have the built in training that restoration contractors already have in taking the care and patience that is needed to deconstruct, let alone deal with an insurance claim involving property damage. As a restoration contractor, my technicians are trained to carefully remove undamaged building materials to facilitate the mitigation or remediation of the damaged building materials while still protecting their value for reinstallation once the reconstruction portion of the claim begins. It is second nature to restoration technicians to disassemble a kitchen to facilitate the drying of the structure behind the finished building materials. This is not something we have to learn. We already know how to deconstruct on a smaller scale.
Our skills just need to be fined tuned to where it becomes second nature.
DKI understands that in today’s environment, individuals and organizations continually strive to do their part in building or creating green environments.
DKI has pioneered this movement by being the first and only disaster restoration and reconstruction organization to be green risk certified in building reconstruction and restoration services.
DKI is the only Green Certified Services Organization
that is adequately trained to provide a superior level of knowledge, expertise, professionalism and customer service to property owners, managers, facility directors, and insurers of green buildings. Not only does DKI understand the makeup of green buildings, products used in green buildings, rating systems and insurance coverage as it relates to these elements, but DKI can ensure that if a green building sustains damage, the building will be restored using the most efficient green products in the marketplace.
I believe that DKI and its member companies are already poised to take the lead in Building Deconstruction and Material Reuse. By forming a partnership with The Reuse People of America at no cost to DKI and its member companies, DKI would become part of the largest building deconstruction organization in the United States.
DKI Benefits from Partnership by:
- Partnership with Deconstruction Industry Leader to become part of the largest building deconstruction and material reuse organization in the country by far
- The ReUse People handle all the material donations and paperwork. DKI Member companies stick to what they do best which is material handling and building deconstruction
- Additional revenue stream during slow summer months in the Restoration Industry
- Free On Site Building Deconstruction training
- Positioned as the leader to promote building deconstruction and material reuse to the Insurance Industry before it becomes mainstream
The ReUse People Benefit from Partnership by:
- Partnering with Restoration Industry Leader become part of the largest building deconstruction and material reuse organization in the country by far
- Expansion into previously unthinkable DKI member company markets
- Don’t have to waste time vetting companies in each new market. DKI stands behind each member company
- Many more avenues for promotion of building deconstruction and material reuse
Just by signing a piece of paper, Disaster Kleenup International can re-affirm their reputation as the Restoration Industry's Green Leader and be a force for the sustainable development and future of our world.
Hopefully DKI doesn't wait too long and have one of our corporate competitors swoop in and steal the mantle......
