Impact of Hurricane Sandy on U.S. SQUASH by Kevin Klipstein
October 31, 2012
- Many across the entire Northeast are clearly adversely affected by
the severity of the recent storm. Foremost, we wish to express our
concern for all those in the squash community and sincerely hope that
you and your family are safe.
New York City and the surrounding areas were not spared from the impact
of Hurricane Sandy. As those of you living in the region already know,
in most areas no specific timeline has been determined for the
restoration of power or re-establishing basic transportation services.
As a result, U.S. SQUASH operations are limited at this time, primarily
due to the lack of power and irregular phone and internet service
throughout the area, in addition to our employees being displaced by
the storm.
As many in the community continue to face challenges related to the
aftermath of the storm, we wish you our very best. We also ask from
everyone for your patience as we work to resume our normal operations
under difficult circumstances. Since inbound phone service may not work
for some time, please send emails to appropriate staff contacts and we
will respond as soon as possible. For professionals or participants
seeking our support related to your specific program or tournament,
please direct general questions to: office@ussquash.com, and tournament specific questions to: tournaments@ussquash.com.
