Thank you, from National Grid
As both a service provider and
members of the community, National Grid has a vested interest in working
hard to restore service as quickly and as safely as possible.
Superstorm Sandy was one of the worst storms to hit our regions and we
could not have battled this storm without your help and support.
National Grid wants to thank our local partners - employees, union leaders, community leaders, first responders, municipal, county and state officials - for helping us put the lights and gas back on in the aftermath of the storm.
We also want to thank the families and friends of our tireless workers for their support and encouragement.
Last, but not least, we want to thank our customers for their patience, kindness and their understanding as we worked feverishly to restore power and gas service.
While our restorations efforts have wrapped up in many of our service territories, our focus has turned to our neighbors in Long Island and the areas of New York City devastated by the storm. Residents living in the hardest hit areas are living in a virtual warzone and dealing with a nightmare situation. Many are unable to reach loved ones and remain unsure of their safety. Houses are flooded, there are limited gasoline supplies and in the midst of it all, temperatures are dropping significantly.
In response to this, we have gathered resources and personnel and have headed into these regions in order to assist with recovery.
To find out how you can also help, please see below for a list of organizations that are actively providing food, shelter and supplies to the victims of Superstorm Sandy:

How to help Superstorm Sandy victims
-
Red Cross: To donate, visit www.redcross.org, call 800-Red-Cross or text the word "Redcross" to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Nearly 100 Red Cross blood drives were canceled because of Sandy, so blood supplies are low in the areas affected the most. The Red Cross asks that those who can donate to schedule an appointment to give blood. The New York Blood Center is urging people to donate blood for those in the New York/New Jersey area. To donate, call 800-933-2566 or visit www.nybloodcenter.org.
