Preparedness starts before disaster strikes. 
 
Hazard mitigation is all about prevention: taking action before emergencies to reduce damage to people, homes and infrastructure. Every dollar invested today can save lives. 
 
From flooding and extreme heat to winter weather and power outages, NYCEM plans for the risks our city faces and strengthens communities long before emergencies happen. 
 
Because a safer NYC is built before not after a disaster.

This AAPI Heritage Month, we honor the trailblazers who transformed emergency management, disaster resilience, and public safety while building safer, stronger communities for all.

From Division Chief Sophia Kwok, the first Asian American female EMS Division Chief in FDNY history, to Sarinya Srisakul, the FDNY’s first Asian American woman firefighter and later its first Asian woman Lieutenant, these leaders opened doors in spaces where representation once seemed impossible.
We also recognize Karl Kim, whose work training tens of thousands of emergency managers and first responders reshaped disaster preparedness nationwide, and Charles Lee, whose pioneering environmental justice work changed how the nation understands disaster vulnerability and community resilience.

Their leadership paved the path for future generations to lead, serve, and protect. This month and every month, we celebrate the AAPI voices that continue to strengthen emergency management across the country.

🗽 Today, we remember those who gave their lives in service to this country, and we honor the New Yorkers among them. 🇺🇸

They came from every borough and every background. They served in defense of a democracy built on a difficult and enduring promise, that people of every race, faith, language, and origin can govern themselves together, live with dignity, and call the same country home.

That promise is still being tested. It is still being built. It is still worth defending.

Today, we honor those who gave their lives for it.

We honor their service and sacrifice. We honor the families who carry their memory forward. We honor them by remembering what their service cost, caring for those they left behind, and protecting the freedoms they served to defend.

Recovery is a core part of the emergency management process. Since the May 20 flooding event, NYCEM has coordinated with nonprofits, including , , and and agency partners, including , , and the NYC Office of Housing Recovery to help our neighbors across the city get the resources they need to recover.

The city is clearing downed trees, working to get power, surveying catch basins, and connecting homes to needed services.

This interagency coordination is critical to getting New Yorkers back on their feet after emergencies.

City agencies and nonprofit partners remained active in Hollis, Queens today, continuing recovery operations following this week’s flooding.

An interagency meeting was held today with representatives from , , , , NYCEM, community board members, and neighborhood residents to coordinate ongoing response efforts and identify outstanding community needs.

The Department of Sanitation continued cleanup operations throughout the neighborhood, with crews replacing filled dumpsters with empty ones as residents work to remove debris from their homes and properties. DSNY personnel are providing on-site assistance to residents engaged in the cleanup, and additional debris pickups and street cleaning are scheduled in the coming days. The Department of Environmental Protection is also clearing catch basins ahead of rain expected this weekend.

American Red Cross has canvassed the neighborhood, identifying residents who may need assistance and connecting them to available services. Volunteer teams will deploy on Sunday to conduct muck-and-gut work (removing mud, debris, and water-damaged building materials from flooded homes so they can dry out and prevent mold growth). This work is being coordinated with nonprofit partners including the American Red Cross and , with a focus on supporting seniors and other vulnerable residents.

For all New Yorkers affected by the storm on Wednesday, report damage at reportdamage.nyc.gov and file a 311 service request for any conditions that need a city response. Both help us help you.

After a major emergency, New Yorkers need to know whether their home, workplace, school, block, or building is safe.

Today, NYCEM joined Zohran Mamdani, along with agency partners and for a full-scale exercise to test how teams move from damage reports to field deployment, structural assessments, and coordination.

With extreme weather risk, major events, and World Cup-related activity across the region, we are focused on the continuity of services, staffing, communications, and emergency response.

When agencies work to improve real operations, decisions can be made faster, safer, and with better information during the next emergency.
