From what's been posted else-site, it appears late blight only over winters in potatoes, so, if you planted potatoes, make sure you get them all dug up.

Here's the Cornell information again.

Be careful about eliminating volunteer potatoes next year. That's the best contribution you can make to avoiding another outbreak.
