Free Parking In Case of Flooding Due to Hurricane Earl

The National Weather Service has issued a Tropical Storm Watch for our area. Although the center of Hurricane Earl is currently expected to pass east of the area, impacts such as strong winds and flooding are still possible.

In anticipation of the potential for flooding, the City of Hoboken is providing free parking in Municipal Garage B (located on 2nd Street between Hudson and River streets) from Thursday, Sept. 2 at 8 p.m. through Saturday, Sept. 4 at 11 a.m. for residents in flood prone areas with a valid residency parking permit.

Wind Precautions

High winds are possible in Hoboken this Friday, Sept. 3. Be sure your property (including construction sites) is secure.

Bring in unsecured objects from patios and balconies and secure outdoor objects such as lawn furniture or garbage cans that could blow away and cause damage or injury.

The safest place to be during high winds is indoors. If at all possible postpone outdoor activities.

Watch for flying debris. Tree limbs may break and street signs may become loose during strong wind gusts. Keep an eye toward nearby balconies for loose objects that may fall.

Report downed lines to 201-420-2007 (Hoboken Fire Department) or 911 for assistance. Do not try to free lines or to remove debris yourself.

Avoid anything that may be touching downed lines, including vehicles or tree branches. Warn others to stay away.
