“Hurricane Sandy is still a long way away, and the storm’s path could change, but it is not too late to be prepared just in case,” a Dobbs Ferry alert read. “The Dobbs Ferry Police, Public Safety, and DPW Departments are fully prepared and we will keep everyone informed as best we can on any new developments or emergency notifications as may be required (hopefully not).”
