Farrell says the city can always communicate better and announces that NYCEM received city tax levy funding in July for 10 additional citywide incident coordinators and five part-time coordinators. She says the added resources will help but does not promise NYCEM can respond to every incident.

Christina Farrell

Yeah.

Christina Farrell

So, I mean, I think, you know, we can always do a better job of communicating.

Christina Farrell

You know, one thing I am happy to say is that.

Christina Farrell

We actually in July received funding for

Christina Farrell

10 additional citywide incident coordinators, city tax levy funding, and for five part-time citywide incident coordinators because we do have people that are retired and would like to come back.

Christina Farrell

And so that will greatly increase our resources because, again, if we have three people working citywide,

Christina Farrell

You know, that gets very, you know, they get very busy very quickly.

Christina Farrell

So we are excited to have these additional resources.

Christina Farrell

And then as they are in place, we could potentially explore.

Christina Farrell

But I don't want to promise that we can be involved in every one of these incidents when we are really coordinating for those larger incidents.
