Hudson hurricane guide¶

Hudson is a city on the Hudson River in Columbia County, New York. The city publishes a Flood Guide covering what to do before, during and after a flood: make an evacuation plan, buy flood insurance because homeowner's insurance does not cover flooding, never drive into floodwater, and call 911 if floodwater surrounds your house. The guide links to the New York State notification system. See the Columbia County page for county agencies.
