Cibelli states, “In a post 9/11 world we must expect the unexpected and prepare for the worst.” He continues, “We cannot pretend as if we live in a bubble, there are people who want us dead and who will go to great lengths to make this happen. We must act now to secure our most vulnerable areas from these monsters who wish to cause us maximum harm.”

At full capacity the Kensico Reservoir holds 30.6 billion gallons of water. In the event of a terrorist attack that would cause the dam to fail, the reservoir’s supply would flood down on southern Westchester, causing billions of dollars in damages and kill thousands in its path of destruction.

In the wake of the flooding seen earlier this month in Louisiana the power and destruction that water can cause has become tragically apparent.

“I understand that since 9/11 the Dam has been protected by local police forces. We now need a study to see if this level of security is adequate for the potential risk.”

Cibelli feels that Bill Ryan, as chairman of the board, has turned a blind eye to this issue because it requires him to question our leaders; the same leaders who have misled us in the past on many other issues of equal and lesser importance. “To Bill Ryan this is a non-issue; he has received satisfaction in the words of bureaucrats who tell us we are safe. Unfortunately, safe is not always safe enough. A study would tell us what we can do to truly be safe and secure.”

Additionally, Cass calls on his neighbors to be vigilant “If you see suspicious behavior you should report it to the police at once. You could save the lives of your friends and family by being an observant citizen.”
