Lawmakers to host Citizen Preparedness Corps training session
Two elected officials whose districts sustained devastating damage in Superstorm Sandy are teaming up with Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office to host an emergency preparedness training session in Coney Island.
Assemblymember Pamela Harris (D-Coney Island-Dyker Heights-Bay Ridge) and Councilmember Mark Treyger (D-Coney Island-Gravesend-Bensonhurst) will hold a free Citizen Preparedness Corps training session on Thursday, Feb. 9, at Liberation Diploma Plus High School, at 2865 W. 19th St., starting at 6 p.m.
Coney Island buildings were flooded during Superstorm Sandy in 2012 and many homeowners and business owners are still rebuilding their lives, more than four years later, Harris said.
