Five years ago, Hurricane Ida changed New York City forever.

For communities across Southeast Queens and beyond, Ida brought devastating flooding and loss but also showed the power of neighbors coming together, organizing, and building resilience.

Hear from the New Yorkers who experienced Ida firsthand and learn how our communities are preparing for the next storm.

Know your risk. Make a plan. Stay informed.

We may see thunderstorms bring heavy rain and strong winds to parts of our city. If storms hit, go inside and wait for conditions to pass. Exercise caution if you must travel. Never walk or drive through floodwaters. Take public transit whenever possible.

NYC is now under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning through at least 3:45. Find shelter now. When thunder roars, head indoors. Do not remain in a flooded or flooding basement or subway station. More tips:
