HPD communicates with displaced residents through emergency housing services, while FDNY does not conduct post-fire outreach.
- HPD communicates to tenants mostly through emergency housing services, especially after accepting services and when there are status updates.
- FDNY focuses on occupant safety and the building's integrity post-fire, without direct outreach to residents.
- FDNY ensures the building is safe before turning it over but does not engage in follow-up communication with displaced residents.

And then, so does the FDNY or HPD ever communicate directly with displaced risk evidence?
1:17:30
Or does all of that communication or is all of that communication expected to flow through the landlord?

Most of the communication to the tenants from HPD's perspective would happen through emergency housing services.

So if someone had accepted services and we were aware of changes to the status, they would be advised through emergency housing service.

And the fire department doesn't perform any outreach post fire.

We just ensure the safety of all the occupants and the inspectors why we don't allow anybody in the building right away.
1:18:10
We want to make sure everything is safe and then we turn the building over.

So we don't do any outreach post fire.
