Hurricane Irene is currently projected to cross Long Island and is expected to bring flooding and powerful winds to our area.
If the hurricane continues on it’s present course, the city of Long Beach will be evacuated.
The City Manager has requested that residents plan for a voluntary evacuation of Long Beach at this time. Residents should contact friends or family or make alternative arrangements to stay north of Sunrise Highway. Areas south of Sunrise Highway are subject to coastal flooding and may not be safe to ride out the storm in.
As the storm approaches, do NOT call 911 except for life threatening emergencies!
This site will be updated as details come in.

Following the City Manager’s Race and in anticipation of the Memorial Day Parade the following day, the LBAPD is looking to get together a team of members (with family and friends always welcome) to detail our vehicles.
With a sizable team the efforts should not take long.
The rewards will be shiny vehicles for the parade, tasty food that will be provided, camaraderie that will be enhanced and an opportunity for family/friends to do somewhat cool hands-on things to support the Auxiliary Police.
Since our busy season is upon us, a General Meeting was held on Monday, May 23rd @8:00pm.
All uniformed and probational officers were expected to attend!
As liaison, Lt. McCormick of LBPD swore in the more recent officers.
Delicious food from Zamboni’s was served.
With the ‘noreaster of December 2010 dumping heavy amounts of snow on the City a Snow Emergency was declared.
More snow is expected in the forecast!
The City mailed out a Snow Emergency newsletter to all residents and businesses in Long Beach that details what is expected when such conditions exist.
