Bulk Storage - NYSDEC
Chemicals, Petroleum, and Liquefied Natural GasThe video and companion booklet called "Tank Closure Without Tears: An Inspector's Safety Guide" are available from the New England Interstate Environmental Training Center at (978) 323-7929. You can also visit NEIWPCC's website. Improper handling and storage of petroleum, hazardous substances/chemicals or liquefied natural gas (LNG) can result in spills that threaten the environment or pose health and safety risks to nearby persons. Across the state, there have been instances of spills of petroleum or chemicals that have caused groundwater contamination including some public water supplies. Storage and handling of LNG poses primarily fire safety concerns and risks from handling a cryogenic (extremely cold) material.Based on several federal and state laws, regulations, and guidance documents, DEC has developed the following programs to establish requirements for the safe storage and handling of these materials, inspection programs to verify that these requirements are being met, and enforcement procedures to require that violations be corrected and deter future non-compliance:Petroleum Bulk Storage (PBS) ProgramPBS registrations can now be submitted online! Instructions and further details can be found here.The PBS program applies to properties which have, except for tank systems that are specifically exempted:one or more tank systems that are designed to store a combined capacity of more than 1,100 gallons or more of petroleum in aboveground and/or underground storage tanks; orone or more underground tank systems that are designed to store 110 or more gallons of petroleum.If the property meets the above criteria, it is considered a "facility" and all tank systems storing petroleum (with some exceptions) must be registered with DEC and managed in compliance with applicable regulations for the storage of petroleum. In addition, per the used oil regulations, all aboveground and underground tank systems designed to store used oil, regardless of size, must be registered with DEC and managed with applicable regulations for storage and handling of petroleum. Check if you need to register your PBS tanks.Do You Need to Register Your Tanks?Are my tanks regulated?

Identity Theft Awareness - Privacy
Regularly update anti-virus protection software on your computer. In addition, keep your computer system and browser up to date and set at the highest security level.
Double-check mailings. Always make sure that documents are not stuck together, and that the recipient’s information is correct before sending any Personally Identifiable Information.
Keep your emails safe. Avoid sending any sensitive information via email. If you absolutely must use email to send personal data, consider purchasing encryption software. Encrypting emails is the only way to ensure that the information you are sending is received securely.
Use social media responsibly. Assume that anything you post online can be accessed by anyone. An identity thief can use the information he or she learns about you on social media sites to answer “challenge” questions and potentially gain access to your personal accounts. Monitor your privacy settings and consider limiting access to your page to a small number of people.

Start the conversation.  Ask questions to establish your child’s understanding of computers, the capabilities of the Internet, and what is considered personal information. Fill in any gaps in understanding that they have. Emphasize that they should never give out any information online – just as you would tell them not to talk to strangers).
Establish the rules. Pick a list of appropriate websites, games, and other programs. Use parental controls to limit access and block inappropriate sites.
Monitor their playtime. Keep a close eye on what programs your child is using to ensure they are not providing any personal information. Avoid sharing your passwords with your children to maintain control over what they can access and prevent accidental online purchases.

Si vous perdez le pouvoir :
Tout d'abord, appelez votre compagnie d'électricité pour connaître le calendrier des réparations dans votre région.
Éteignez ou débranchez les lumières et les appareils afin d'éviter une surcharge du circuit lorsque le service est rétabli. Laissez une lumière allumée pour indiquer que le courant a été rétabli.
Si le chauffage s'arrête pendant une tempête hivernale, restez au chaud en fermant les pièces dont vous n'avez pas besoin.
Pour aider à prévenir le gel des tuyaux, ouvrez légèrement les robinets. L'eau courante ne gèlera pas aussi rapidement.
Gardez les portes du réfrigérateur et du congélateur fermées autant que possible afin de réduire la détérioration des aliments.
Protégez-vous contre l'empoisonnement au monoxyde de carbone :
	NE PAS faire fonctionner les générateurs à l'intérieur ; le moteur émet du monoxyde de carbone, un gaz mortel.
N'utilisez PAS de charbon de bois pour cuisiner à l'intérieur. Cela peut également provoquer une accumulation de monoxyde de carbone.
N'utilisez PAS votre four à gaz pour chauffer votre maison.
