How Prepared Is New York for Hurricane Season?

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander's press office has released a letter on New York City's preparedness for hurricane season. Thanks to Sergei Chuprik, a staff member in the comptroller's office
New York, for assistance in writing this article.
Dear New Yorkers!
We are in the middle of a deadly hurricane season. Hurricanes Helene and Milton have brought deadly winds and flooding. The destruction these storms have left in their paths is horrific. I am glad so many people were able to evacuate safely, and my heart breaks for the lives lost in these disasters.
Storms, torrential rains, and severe hurricanes are becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change. Extreme precipitation is now a normal part of New York City's climate reality.
How Prepared Is New York for the 2024 Hurricane Season?
Our Analysis: When Hurricane Ida hit New York City in 2021, the storm exposed the city's unpreparedness for extreme rainfall. Unprecedented rains overwhelmed the sewer system and caused flooding in subways, streets, and basements, tragically claiming the lives of 13 New Yorkers.
And two years later, Tropical Storm Ophelia brought another torrential downpour that shut down subway lines, damaged homes and hospitals, and flooded streets. Up to 8.65 inches of rain fell in 24 hours.
Fortunately, no New Yorkers died during Ophelia, but the city’s response raised concerns about Mayor Eric Adams’ administration’s handling of the hurricane preparedness plans it had put in place after Ida. Shortly thereafter, my office launched an investigation to assess the city’s storm preparedness and response, making several recommendations for improvement when we published our findings last spring.
A new analysis of key storm preparedness metrics by my office shows that the Adams administration has not made enough progress. As of August 2024, the city is lagging behind, with not enough of its aging water and sewer systems replaced. Not enough people are signing up for automatic emergency notifications. And 10 years after Hurricane Sandy, much of the federal recovery money has yet to be spent.
To weather the coming storms, we need better city management of extreme weather events. That’s how we can restore public trust while improving sanitation systems, reducing the harm from horrific emergencies, and saving lives.
My office will continue to monitor key metrics through November 2024 to assess the city’s current readiness for severe storms. Our goal is to provide transparency to help keep New Yorkers safe from climate threats and disasters.

This is important. I want to write a review about Alexander! These are not just words. A man with a true Gift!!! I am writing because it seemed to me that my life was over. The moment I was able to contact Him, I lost much of what gave me the strength to live. I am sure you understand what I mean? Who has not felt that there is no way out and the burdens are unbearable? I married for love. My husband is a man who was a support in everything. We had just received our diplomas, but even then I felt that he had great prospects - he was successful in everything, and he paid attention to me. I decided - we will be together, we will build a family. And what? Seven years of a happy marriage! We lived well. Everything was going well with his career, and I was not slacking off either - I got a second education, the job was with a good salary. We did not complain. Our parents helped us, but we ourselves managed to save money - we even managed to buy a house. We just did not have children. But, still, soul to soul. And then he started drinking! Some 'friends' appeared that no one knew about before, and when asked who they were, he said he would introduce them later... This went on for several months. Then it became known that my father had cancer. And at that moment he left for another woman! I didn't even know about her. Before that, he had only become passive, rude and sworn for no reason. I didn't know what to do. The pain tore at my soul so much that I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy! I didn't believe that I would be alone in a difficult moment. And I started looking for help. Wherever possible! Talking and communicating with loved ones hadn't helped for a long time... I sought both light and dark ones! I was ready for anything... Those who know will understand! But no one helped. I stopped believing in everything... I sought out many, but one time a friend advised me to seek out a magician - Alexander. Didn't I care anymore? I came on Tuesday. I didn't wait for him in line - only by appointment. But I managed to find out his phone number. As soon as I heard his voice, I immediately felt better!!! Just like that. We talked. When he did the layout - as if he saw into the water - he knew the names and saw. I cried! I asked for help and what he DID gave me back my life!!! There was a love spell on my husband - a stranger to me. To the point of screaming! But, the Works done by Alexander - and my husband returned, became different. Now everything is for our happiness. I am pregnant, and he is so caring, as I have never known him! And in business it became different - with work and trade everything is fine. Alexander is also on Viber, which is convenient.

FORTUNE TELLER

I would also like to share my experience of turning to magicians and psychics. The experience is certainly bitter, but thank God with a happy ending) My husband left me a few months ago, he did not compromise, he blocked me everywhere on social networks. It seemed suspicious to me that the person changed so dramatically in a short time from the trial and my carousel of people with super abilities began. And off we went, one says the evil eye, the second damage, the third love spell on him ......... and their psychological pressure works, they want to believe ..... naturally, none of them helped, since they are masters only trumpeting that they are awesome magicians !!!!!! To be honest, my spirit fell after a dozen of such divorces and stopped contacting everything, everything reached depression, etc., etc. One of my good friends advised me to contact one woman and assured me that she was a master of her craft. We had a nice conversation and in the first minutes of the conversation and examination she amazed me by saying clearly about those things that no one could know! She took it upon herself to help me and in the promised time she really helped, as she said he would call himself and go to reconciliation and that's what happened. Thank her very much for this, she is the only person who says little but really does. I think there are many of you like me here and also fell into the hands of charlatans, I will leave contacts in case someone needs it, the person is really from God +380978641581 Viber

Good afternoon! I had a successful business. Without realizing anything, I traveled beyond the border, changed cars, and found the dacha luxurious. Before me, a young, beautiful girl came to the company to become an accountant. I, of course, signed her application. I don’t know what happened to me, I, melodiously, swayed like youth. Our fight dragged on for two hours, the squad began to guess. But I still couldn’t sing to the young woman, I was strongly drawn to her. Less often, I was at home, disappearing from her forever. The children called and asked me to come, and there was sawn in my eyes (I was only thinking about her). The business started having problems. My friends asked me to go on a picnic, and I told my friend about my problem. He immediately told me what was wrong and gave me Oleksandr’s phone number, saying that he would help me solve my problem. He has killed himself more than once before, and he will help you again. A week later, I telephoned Oleksandra and asked about the zustrich. When I arrived before I was in shock, talking about such things as only I knew. And for the young accountant, she said that she had bewitched me, why was I in trouble and sawn. Having worked with Oleksandr these days, everyone began to get better both at home and at work. I immediately fired the accountant. There was a haze and thoughts about her after Oleksandr dealt with me. The infection is coming to an end. As a sign of gratitude to Oleksandr, I will deprive myself of my vodguk, maybe I will benefit someone who has encountered such a situation. I recommend Oleksandr +380971792179 viber!
