One of those tasks is entitled, “Illicit Storm Water Discharge Detection Elimination.” Another task is entitled, “Public Participation.” A third is entitled, “Public Education.”

Potassium Iodide Pills Available to Ossining Residents

Potassium Iodide (KI) pills are available to Ossining residents at the Caputo Community Center, 95 Broadway, Ossining Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 9 pm.

Potassium Iodide pills are being distributed by Westchester County to residents within the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone surrounding the Indian Point Power Plants. Potassium Iodide is a simple mineral salt that can be helpful in preventing thyroid cancer in the event of a nuclear accident that releases radioactive iodine into the environment. KI does not protect any part of the body, other than the thyroid.

For more information about Potassium Iodide, call the Health Department at 914-813-5000 or visit its website at www.westchestergov.com/health.
