Turn Back the Clock, Check Your Batteries, and Restock

Take advantage of your extra hour this weekend as daylight-saving time ends. On Sunday, November 4, when you turn back your clocks, remember to check the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and make sure your Go Bags and Emergency Supply Kits are fully stocked. Check expiration dates on emergency supplies and replace any items that may have been used. The Fire Department will be distributing fresh 9-volt batteries for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout the five boroughs this week.
