When it comes to large-scale weather and traffic events, our emergency managers play a critical role in keeping travelers safe.

Whether it’s planning for scheduled events like the World Cup or responding to storms in real-time, Emergency Managers work in the field and in the office, monitoring, coordinating and keeping our response on track. It’s a big job and one that is often overlooked.

For National Emergency Management Awareness Month, we thank our behind-the-scenes crews for their support and their unfailing commitment to public safety 👏👏👏

Our HELP program is now sponsored by GEICO, so we gave the trucks a fresh, new look - including a very handsome gecko! 🦎

Highway Emergency Local Patrol operates in metro areas on the busiest roads during commuting hours. We get disabled vehicles back on the road to keep people safe and prevent secondary crashes.

Have you ever by helped by a HELP operator? Tell us your story!

SLOW DOWN IN WORK ZONES

Every day, highway workers step into work zones expecting to return home at the end of their shift. One driver's decision can change that forever. Remember that the next time you drive through a work zone.

Big rocks give big support! Boulders tumble into place as we work hard to rebuild an embankment in Rensselaer County. It's the first step in constructing a new road to restore access after this week's devastating flooding.

👀 That road doesn't look right!

Today Commissioner Dominguez toured road damage from this week's massive flooding and updated media. Here at Route 9J in Stuyvesant, the overwhelming amount of water washed away large chunks of road and eroded the soil supporting it.

As we work to restore access, these photos serve as a great reminder - never drive over flooded roads. You never know what's happening below the water.
