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 Yorkfor 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, andsaving 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. New York City Auditor Brad Lander

Girls, I want to recommend Marfa! She is one of many who could help me! She was able to help me with my problem, although I no longer hoped that I would be cured and find the meaning of life again. I went to many doctors... tests, ultrasound, etc. They all told me in one voice that my disease is incurable. I lost the meaning of life... resentment... pain... why did I deserve this? A month later, my school friend called, I told her about myself, she immediately gave me Marfa's number and told me to call her right away. She calmed me down and said that she would help me. I can say with a clear conscience that this woman really cured me. My enormous gratitude to Marfa, I can recommend her to everyone! Here is her number +79993359042 Telegram
I didn’t have much experience with fortune tellers or magicians. When life forced me, I looked for help through trial and error. But I was lucky and I found Zakhar. I will always be grateful to him, because after six months of torment and suffering, nothing seemed to help... I had the same problem that many people have - my husband left the family, but he chose an individual solution. When I first contacted him, I was shocked at how detailed he sees the situation when he makes a diagnosis! He says everything himself without unnecessary details, with important details and names. My husband and I are together again, raising our two charming children, but we have already forgotten about what happened. And our homewrecker sits alone and bites her elbows. Yes, and on business. And I couldn’t keep a stranger’s man, and I lost my friend, although I no longer wish her harm, let everything be fine for everyone! I wholeheartedly recommend Zahara +380954248510 you can write to Viber and WhatsApp
