Today's beautiful weather will allow restoration efforts to move forward at a good pace.
There will be a regional shelter established at SUNY New Paltz in the Health and Wellness Center. This shelter will open at noon today under the leadership of the American Red Cross. Anyone wishing to stay at the shelter should bring their own pillows, blankets and toiletries. As stated previously, we must utilize the regional approach to sheltering.
