Brooks-Powers asks about notification protocols after a displacing fire

In terms of communication and follow-up, that was a good segue.

What is the protocol for notifying the other agencies and partners involved in recovery?

So like the Red Cross, HPD, the Mayor's Office of Housing Recovery, Department of Social Services, and others after a fire with displacement and what triggers each notification and who sends it?

So if it's a larger, and as you noted, there was a large, another large fire going on, I think almost at the same time,

which, you know, many of our resources we have, as you probably know, were a lot smaller than our partners at FDNY, NYPD, and others.

On a typical Saturday afternoon, we probably had three citywide incident coordinators working, also doing things like monitoring the drones at the beaches and things like that.

So, you know, we have limited resources, just nature of the way we're set up across the agency.

Since we did not initially respond to this fire, the Red Cross notification, as I said, they did initially respond.

That would go through housing preservation and development.

Once things were needed later on, when our CIC went out there, that's when we would do those notifications.

If it's something that we initially respond to, say like a three alarm fire or more, those notifications and the requests, you know, Councilwoman Sanchez knows there was a significant fire in her district a week ago

and buildings was requested, Con Ed was requested, HPD.

Mayor's Office of Engagement.

So depending on the number of units, you know, the likelihood

that there is going to be a vacate, we will pull in our partners.
