Brooks-Powers asks how many residents were displaced on July 25
Brooks-Powers asks how many households and individuals were displaced and where they spent their first night. Farrell says she lacks specific hotel information but understands 22 adults and seven children, representing multiple households, received temporary lodging through the Red Cross; Brooks-Powers notes there were also pets.
I'm going to come back to a part of this that I'd like to unpack a bit more.
But can you tell me how many households and individuals were displaced and where did each spend their first night?
I don't have specific information, you know, things like specific hotels and things are kept private.
The geography is fine, like you said, somewhere in Staten Island, for example.
But how many families were displaced?
My understanding is that 22 adults and seven children, obviously representing multiple households, received temporary lodging through the Red Cross.
And there were a few animals, too.
I don't have that information, but often there are pets that Red Cross works to find pet-friendly hotels.
