Ever filed a 311 complaint and wondered why the fix takes months? I made a one minute video about one reason: the to-do list the Council keeps handing city agencies. It only gets longer, and until now nobody could read the whole thing.

[Andrew Giambrone @AndrewGiambrone]

“One topic that did not make the final cut for proposed reform but COGE says warrants further discussion has its roots in prior Charter Revision Commissions. There has been a longstanding concern … about the number of agency reports and advisory councils mandated by local laws.”

[NYC Emergency Management @nycemergencymgt]

El calor intenso está aumentando en los cinco condados de la ciudad, y hay medidas sencillas que pueden marcar una gran diferencia para mantenerte seguro.

@NYCComptroller Mark Levine explica cómo mantenerte a salvo cuando la temperatura aumenta.
Ten un plan: identifica un lugar fresco al que puedas ir si hace demasiado calor.

Reúne lo necesario: agua, medicamentos y un teléfono cargado.

Mantente informado: inscríbete para recibir las alertas de Notify NYC y mantente pendiente de tus vecinos, de los adultos mayores y de cualquier persona que no tenga aire acondicionado.

Encuentra un centro para refrescarte cerca de ti en https://t.co/04ULpqxfIY.

Cuando llega el calor extremo, NYCEM coordina la respuesta en toda la ciudad: abre centros para refrescarse, comparte alertas en tiempo real y trabaja junto a sus socios para ayudar a mantener seguros a todos los neoyorquinos.
