Ariola questions NYT report on outage notification responses
Ariola cites a New York Times report at 9:24 a.m. that stated no impact to 911. Gelobter clarifies that at 9:24 a.m. the notification was about alarm calls being impacted, and they didn't learn 911 calls were affected until later. A second notification between 10:20 and 11 a.m. confirmed alarm issues resolved and no 911 impact at that point.
I can't.
DC Barbara, do you know?
I'm sorry, is the question, can you repeat the question?
No, what I'm saying is, I was going over what you said.
You said that the maintenance was routine.
You knew months in advance.
It was scheduled.
It was approved.
And, but,
The FDNY and NYPD were not notified in advance, and the only time you knew that there was a breakdown was when NYPD notified you.
Sorry, so there was a notification that went out to the CAV, the Change Advisory Board, which FD and PD are part of.
Again, it was given out as a low risk evaluated, and that, so there was notification, but it did not require a level of approval.
So the New York Times reported at 924 that there was an outage notification and later at 11 a.m.
An outage.
And the response that they got was that there was no impact to 911.
