Heather Roiter defends NYCEM's efforts in communicating flood risks, explaining the various tools and resources available. Council Member Joann Ariola expresses skepticism and requests to see the shared information.

  • NYCEM provides flood risk information through various platforms, including the city flood hazard mapper and their website
  • Different types of flood risks (tidal, inland, coastal) are addressed in their communications
  • There's a disconnect between the information NYCEM claims to provide and the council member's awareness of this information

So I do wanna say that flood risk is something that we're actively and always communicating.
0:39:26
That information is provided by the city.
0:39:27
There's different again, the type of flood risk we're talking about, whether it's tidal, inland, coastal, that's all provided on, the city flood hazard mapper.
0:39:38
We also do have it on our website through our hazard mitigation plan, and we do provide an abundance of information on, overlaying mapping and flood risk.
0:39:49
Your the specific list you're asking for is the one thing I think I'd have to follow that's what I say to follow-up on.
0:39:54
But Mhmm.
0:39:55
We do provide quite a lot of the information that is available for your constituents, your office, and partners to also take and, use?

I I would love to see it.
0:40:06
I'd love to see it shared.
0:40:07
I'm just gonna give you a scenario, and I just like to know if you were involved in this.
