Governor Cuomo was back in Rochester on Saturday and says he is planning to launch an investigation into RG&E’s emergency response efforts once the storm cleanup has passed.

Cuomo said that extreme weather should be considered the new norm and that utility companies, like RG&E and National Grid need to be prepared to handle these situations.

Cuomo praised National Grid for their power restoration efforts and said that RG&E did not do what they needed to do to be prepared.

“I do not consider three days to be an adequate response plan,” said Cuomo.

Monroe County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo and Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren were also at the press conference. Both women encouraged residents to take advantage of the county and city shelters that are open.

Cuomo said that the next step, once Monroe County is out of the emergency stage, will be to conduct a damage assessment to see if the county qualifies for federal aid.
