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.

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?
