This evening, November 6th, 2012, Mayor Bloomberg issued mandatory evacuation orders for four health care facilities in the Rockaways:

  • Park Nursing Home (181 residents)
  • Ocean Promenade Nursing Center (91 residents)
  • Peninsula Center for Extended Care and Rehabilitation (180 residents)
  • Surfside Manor Home for Adults (173 residents)

The facilities are in the most heavily-impacted area of the Rockaways and have been successfully operating on generator power. The impending Nor’easter storm surge could compromise the facilities’ generators, putting the elderly residents at risk. All facilities will be evacuated tonight to protect the health and safety of residents and staff.
