And and did you were you able to describe what your rapid response outreach looks like at this time?
Manuel Castro
1:48:10
Do you
Alexa Avilés
1:48:11
have any?
Manuel Castro
1:48:11
I don't think we were we got to that question
Alexa Avilés
1:48:13
Yeah.
Manuel Castro
1:48:14
Or to answer that.
1:48:16
But as you know, Moya has been in rapid response from, I believe, the first day I started, which I had to response to the devastating Bronx fire.
1:48:26
And from there on, we developed a rapid response protocol within our office to be able to put out information that people need, develop materials, undergo the the appropriate approvals, and so forth.
1:48:43
And we're certainly in that process we have which we have in the last three years, to be frank.
1:48:50
As deputy commissioner mentioned, we are putting out additional materials, and the work is ongoing.
1:48:59
Our rapid response work, I think, is substantial, And it includes both the work that we do internally and externally.
Alexa Avilés
1:49:11
I think I'm gonna have to revisit that.
1:49:13
I'm not sure I understood your answer other than we do it.
Manuel Castro
1:49:18
If you're referring to materials that we put out or staff that we deploy, we do all of that.
1:49:26
I don't know if you need any more specifics.
Alexa Avilés
1:49:29
I I think I'm gonna turn it over to council member Brewer.
