Dear Rhode Islander:
With Hurricane Sandy making its way up our coast and the National Weather Service predicting that Rhode Island could be affected, I want to make sure Rhode Islanders have some key resources to prepare for the storm and its potential aftermath.
Key Resources:

State of Rhode Island Emergency Phone Numbers: Click here for a list of emergency contacts in each of Rhode Island’s cities and towns. And visit the RI Emergency Management Agency’s website here for additional information.
My Office: If you need help after the storm finding resources related to hurricane recovery, please visit our Agency Assistance page so we can help you.
