Council Member Joann Ariola presses NYCEM about maintaining a list of city-managed buildings in chronic flood locations, specifically mentioning buildings in the Rockaway Peninsula. Heather Roiter's responses are non-committal, indicating a potential gap in information management.

  • NYCEM is unable to confirm the existence of a comprehensive list of at-risk buildings
  • The exchange reveals potential gaps in NYCEM's preparedness for flood events
  • There's an implication that better record-keeping of at-risk buildings is needed
