Gov. Kathy Hochul wants to make sure New Yorkers take steps to keep their homes safe if the storm ends up impacting New York.

Governor Kathy Hochul on Tuesday announced the deployment of 50 soldiers from the New York National Guard to begin preparations on Long Island. "A major hurricane is currently churning in the Atlantic and we are keeping a close eye on this storm because it's too early to predict what this potentially dangerous weather system will do," Hochul said. "Out of an abundance of caution, I have deployed the National Guard and directed state agencies to prepare emergency response assets and be ready to respond to local requests for assistance.
