NYC Emergency Management is a coordinating agency for the City of New York. The agency plans and prepares for emergencies, educates the public about preparedness, coordinates emergency response and recovery, and collects and disseminates emergency information. To accomplish this mission, the agency maintains a disciplined unit of emergency management personnel, including responders, planners, watch commanders, and administrative and support staff, to identify and respond to various hazards.

The New York Transit Museum is just down the street from the New York City Emergency Management Department so several of us took a few minutes today to go learn more about the history of the NYC subway system. Mass transit is key to many of the City's emergency plans, such as the Coastal Storm Plan. The subways have also been the scene of some significant emergencies, including the 1918 Malbone Road accident. Learning about NYC's history and the innerworkings of key infrastructure helps our staff in all facets of planning, response, and public messaging.

As we continue to support disaster recovery efforts in Los Angeles following the devastating wildfires, Afya is proud to continue sending essential supplies to our partners on the ground. We sincerely appreciate UJA-Federation of New York, NYC Emergency Management, NYU Langone Health, and Distribute Aid for their generous donations and support in making this possible. This week, with the help of Telegraph we shipped 8,609 lbs. of vital medical equipment to LA using railroad freight, harnessing their innovative platform to help move cargo efficiently. Thanks to their support, these supplies will reach up to 80,000 individuals. Since January, Afya has sent a total of 32,113 lbs. of critical medical and hygiene supplies to the Los Angeles area, and we’re committed to supporting impacted communities.
