| Hurricane Preparedness: Volunteer for the IC's Hurricane Clean-up Team & ICNYU Closed Monday |
|
as'salaamu alaykum As you most probably know, there is a Hurricane watch for our area for the next few days. Updated information from the NYC Office of Emergency Management can be found by clicking here. Please do your best to visit it. Learn more about preparing for coastal storms with OEM's Ready New York: Hurricanes and New York City guide. The Islamic Center at NYU will be closed, along with the rest of New York University, from 5pm today through all of Monday. All events, programs, halaqas, classes, and prayer services will be canceled for Monday. We will send out an email tomorrow in regards to any changes on Tuesday. In anticipation of the Hurricane, we will need volunteers to help with clean-up and our community members who are affected by flooding and other damage. Our volunteers will be working with Islamic Relief and the Red Cross. If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out this form with your information so that we will be able to get in touch with you should the need arise. Again, the form is available here. The MTA will shut down all subway, bus, and commuter railroad service at 7 PM, Sunday. For more information, visit the MTA website. Should you find yourself in a place after the storm in which you need assistance, please do let me know and we'll do our best to send volunteers to help you.I would encourage you all to stay at home unless there is some strong need or emergency that requires you to leave. If you have any questions, suggestions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me inshallah. -Khalid ________________________
