Migrant families were evacuated from Floyd Bennett Field, an emergency shelter, in southern Brooklyn out of an abundance of caution ahead of the storm and high winds on Tuesday, according to New York City Mayor Eric Adams’s administration.
Around 1,900 individuals will stay overnight at James Madison High School in Midwood, Brooklyn.
“The relocation will continue until any weather conditions that may arise have stabilized and the facility is once again fit for living,” a statement from Adams’s office said. “We are actively monitoring the situation and will issue updates as necessary.”
