 Parades/Festivals

Is your organization planning a parade or festival to take place on Town or Village streets or in one of our parks?  If so, you must fill out the event application (also available at Town and Village Hall) and submit it well in advance of your event.  The New Paltz Police Department must do a safety review of your planned activity, which may also require Town and/or Village approval.

Road closings/Emergency Shelters  

 Updated information on road closings, shelter information and other preparations arranged for residents can be found by calling the New Paltz Police Department information line at 845.255.7123.  Do not attempt to drive through flooded roads and do not move road barriers.  If you have an emergency, call 9-1-1.  A fire truck and ambulance will be stationed west of the Wallkill River during flooding.
