National Heat Awareness Day 2023 PSEG Long Island offers tips to prepare for summer and high heat days (UNIONDALE, N.Y. – May 24, 2023) – Friday, May 26, is National Heat Awareness Day, and PSEG Long Island reminds customers to properly protect themselves during the high heat days of summer. PSEG Long Island prepares year-round to meet the increased electrical demand that high temperatures bring. “PSEG Long Island prepares for periods of high heat, along with other extreme conditions, by updating and maintaining the electric infrastructure all year round,” said Michael Sullivan, PSEG Long Island’s vice president of Electric Operations. “We want customers to have the best service possible under these conditions. At the same time, we want families to know how to maintain their personal safety during high heat.” During extreme heat conditions, customers should: * Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol. * Avoid wearing dark colors. Dark colors absorb the sun’s rays. * Never leave children or pets alone in enclosed vehicles. * Avoid overexertion during work or exercise, especially between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. According to the National Weather Service, “on average, extreme heat has killed more people in the last 10 years than any other weather phenomena.” The NWS encourages people to remember the acronym HEAT: Hydrate. Educate yourself. Act quickly. Take it easy. Customers on qualifying life-support equipment can register for the PSEG Long Island Critical Care Program to receive enhanced notifications from the company. During severe weather, registered customers will receive additional outreach from PSEG Long Island. Customers who rely on such equipment are responsible for planning ahead to meet medical needs in the event of a power outage. If power is lost, every effort will be made to restore it as soon as possible. Participation in the Critical Care Program does not guarantee priority power restoration. To register, call 1-800-490-0025. High temperatures can also lead to higher energy use, resulting in higher electric bills. To help save energy and money this summer, PSEG Long Island offers the following tips to customers: * Do not cool an empty house. Set your thermostat higher when you are away, or use a smart thermostat to control the temperature in your home. Customers can receive an incentive on qualifying thermostats for enrolling in PSEG Long Island’s Smart Savers Thermostat program, which can be used to control usage during peak summer days. Visit https://www.psegliny.com/efficiency for more details. * Seal holes and cracks around doors and windows with caulk or weather-stripping. * Replace air filters monthly. Dirty filters make your air conditioner work harder. * Operate appliances in the morning or evening when it is cooler outside. * Set refrigerators and freezers to the most efficient temperatures. * Replace old appliances with new, energy efficient ENERGY STAR® appliances. * Close blinds and draperies facing the sun to keep out the sun’s heat. * Ceiling fans cool fast and cost less than air conditioning. (In hot weather, set your ceiling fan to spin quickly, counterclockwise to push air downward toward the floor.) Extreme temperatures and high electric demand can sometimes cause scattered, heat-related outages. Customers can prepare by keeping PSEG Long Island’s contact information handy. During extreme heat, PSEG Long Island will have additional personnel available to address outages safely and as quickly as possible. Stay connected: * Download the PSEG Long Island mobile app to report outages and receive information on restoration times, crew locations and more. * Report an outage and receive status updates by texting OUT to PSEGLI (773454). You can also report your outage through PSEG Long Island’s app, its website. at www.psegliny.com/outages<;http://www.psegliny.com/outages> or with your voice using the Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant[1]<x-msg://42/#_ftn1>; app on your smartphone. * To report an outage or downed wire call PSEG Long Island’s 24-hour Electric Service number: 800-490-0075. * Follow PSEG Long Island on Facebook and Twitter to report an outage and for updates before, during and after the storm. * Visit PSEG Long Island’s MyPower map for the latest in outage info, restoration times and crew locations across Long Island and the Rockaways at https://mypowermap.psegliny.com/. PSEG Long Island energy efficiency programs provide residential and commercial customers with tools to lower energy use and save money.

From the Police Chief To the Residents of Great Neck Estates, On behalf of the Village of Great Neck Estates and the Great Neck Estates Police Department I am writing to provide insight into recent criminal trends, police activity and preventative measures you may take to help increase security. Vehicle thefts and burglaries continue to be a target for criminals throughout the country including New York and the Great Neck area. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau vehicle thefts increased seventeen percent from 2019 to 2021 and pending a final report are expected to increase again for 2022. Most often the stolen vehicle is accessed via key fobs left in the vehicle and coupled with the increased vehicle prices during the pandemic vehicle thefts are expected to continue. More recently we have experienced an increase in home burglaries as well. The trend appears to mirror that of the vehicle thefts in that there have been few confrontations and often, if an alarm is triggered or there is a witness; the criminals flee the scene. Police Departments across Nassau County are working jointly to combat this trend and in January, eight men were arrested and linked to burglaries across Nassau County. That said, we take every infringement on our rights very seriously and every effort will be made to put an end to these trends. The rest of this letter will layout actions our Police Department has taken and preventative tips that may help reduce your exposure to the above referenced crimes. The Village of Great Neck Estates Police continues to provide 24/7 coverage with a minimum of two officers per tour. Events are monitored on a daily basis by Department Supervisors and Village Trustees; and directed patrols are assigned as needed to areas with high activity or that may be susceptible to criminal activity. Additional license plate readers have been acquired by our grant writing team and will soon quadruple the number of patrol vehicles that can actively scan license plates and alert officers to stolen vehicles commonly used in the commission of crimes. To further our departments reach we are in the process of acquiring stationary license plate reader cameras that will be placed strategically throughout the village to monitor activity. We will continue to reassess the needs and security of the Great Neck Estates residents with the hope of continuing to provide the highest level of service. I ensure you that all of our officers will continue to do all they can to protect the people and property of Great Neck Estates. Our hope is that you too can try your best to ensure your own safety and the safety of others. The additional page enclosed outlines some common practices that can be used to potentially reduce your exposure to the crimes of opportunity referenced above. Please share this information with members of your household, family and friends. The more people we have working together the better chance we have of combating crime. If you need to report suspicious activity please contact the department at 516-487-7700 and as always in the case of an emergency please call 9-1-1. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Ricardo Moreno III Chief of Police |

Tips for Preventing Crimes of Opportunity Please consider the following tips to help secure your home from burglaries. - Consider two locks on entry doors - Obscure windows with blinds or drapery - Couple sliding doors with glass break alarm sensors and/or safety bars that prevent the door from opening - Set lights on timers - Install security cameras and monitor activity on your property - Maintain a well-lit property - Remove garbage receptacles from curbside and empty mailbox or have mail held at the post office when away from home for extended periods - Communicate with your neighbors. Regular communication may help your neighbors notice when something or someone is suspicious. Please consider the following tips to help secure your vehicle from theft: - Lock your doors and activate the alarm regardless of where you park - Always remove your keys/ key fob from the vehicle when exiting, including when letting the car “warm-up” on cold days and pumping your gas - If your vehicle has GPS ensure it is activated with the monitoring company - Remove valuables from plain sight |

Natural Gas Safety USING YOUR SENSES A gas leak is often recognized by: SMELL – Natural gas is colorless and odorless. A distinctive, pungent odor, similar to rotten eggs, is added so that you’ll recognize it quickly. Not all transmission lines are odorized. SIGHT – You may see a white cloud, mist, fog, bubbles in standing water, or blowing dust. You may also see vegetation that appears to be dead or dying for no apparent reason. SOUND - You may hear an unusual noise like roaring, hissing or whistling. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IF YOU SUSPECT A LEAK MOVE to a safe environment CALL 911 or 1-800-490-0045 in Nassau DO NOT smoke or operate electrical switches or appliances. These items may produce a spark that might ignite the gas and cause an explosion. DO NOT assume someone else will report the condition. Provide the exact location, including cross streets, and advise if any digging activities are going on in the area. IF YOU SMELL GAS - ACT FAST |
