<888> 11/01/12 Thursday 8:25 P.M.. Town of Greenwich evening message, Thursday November 1, 2012: Good evening. This is the November 1st update on Hurricane recovery efforts from the Town’s Emergency Operations Center. The Town remains under a declared state of emergency. The Town’s Emergency Operations Center remains open on a full-time basis. Road clearing efforts remain on-going. Most, but not all, primary roads have been re-opened. 56% of Greenwich residents remain without electric power. Town of Greenwich officials, met with the president of Connecticut Light and Power and other executives today, at the Town of Greenwich Public Safety Complex in an effort to ensure that the Town is doing everything it can to both support CL&P’s restoration efforts and leverage as many restoration resources as possible. By tomorrow morning, a total of 53 two-man line crews should be at work in Greenwich. As the number of residents requiring shelter services decreases, effective tomorrow, 24-hour overnight shelter operations will be consolidated at the Eastern Middle School shelter location. The Western Greenwich Civic Center shelter will remain open during daytime hours as a reception center for residents who would like to get out of the cold, charge electronic devices or enjoy a small snack. Tomorrow, Friday, November 2nd, the Western Greenwich Civic Center shelter will be open from 7:30 am to 9:30 pm. The Eastern Middle School shelter will remain open on a 24-hour basis until it is no longer required. The Greenwich Fire Department would like to remind residents NOT to try to heat their homes by turning on gas stoves or using other unsafe alternate heating sources. Unsafe alternate heat sources can start fires or emit dangerous amounts of carbon monoxide. If your home is without power, some types of smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors may not work. Fire safety is paramount during power outages. The Health Department is recommending all residents keep food safety in mind over the coming days. If your power has been out for an extended period, food in refrigerators and freezers is likely to have spoiled. If your power comes back, do not refreeze thawed food. Announcements and reminders:
It’s getting chilly at night. If you don’t have power or heat and need to warm up or get a meal, please take advantage of the services available. If you are unsure about what to do or what services are available, feel free to contact the Greenwich Police Department’s non-emergency number at 203-622-8000. Another update announcement will be made tomorrow evening. Until then, please remain patient and act safely. Capt.

I chatted with a relative that is taking a Etruscan cooking course. Basically, Etruscan cooking is food that is sautéed in olive oil, butter, garlic, and basil, with white wine and lemon juice added on to it in the cooking process. Earlier today, I chatted with my friend on East Fairfield beach, and he still does not have electricity. I just now chatted with another friend who travels around Long Island, and he told me lots of houses on Long Island were crushed by falling trees. Long Island has sandy soil being a glacier island, so the trees fall over more easily. He also told me 80% of the gasoline stations on Long Island have no gasoline. We both agreed the hurricane disaster situation is a lot worse than is being reported in the news. He thinks the hurricane disaster in the New York area will bring down the National economy.
