Mkuntho ukawopseza NYC, chimachitika ndi chiyani? Zikuoneka, zochepa kwambiri.

Palibe zambiri zomwe zidapezeka kuchokera ku dipatimenti yoteteza zachilengedwe (DEP) motsogozedwa ndi Commissioner Emily Lloyd yemwe sanayankhe. Palibe mubungwe la DEP yemwe analipo kuti adziwe zambiri (kuyambira Lachisanu, Seputembara 5, 2008). Ngakhale mtsogoleri wa Public Affairs Michael Saucier ndi Deputy Commissioner James Roberts, yemwe amatsogolera Bungwe la Water & Sewer Operations, sanabwezere mafoni. Ndinkayesa kupeza kuchuluka kwa magalimoto ndi ogwira nawo ntchito omwe anali kunja ndi kuyeretsa ngalande za simenti, nthambi ndi masamba. Palibe mu DEP yemwe anali ndi chidziwitso (choti agawane?).

Ofesi ya Emergency Management siili bwinoko, ngakhale ndidalankhula ndi Chris Gilbride, atasiya kundikalipira chifukwa cha uthenga wamawu womwe adawona kuti ndi wokhumudwitsa. Zikuwoneka kuti OEM ikutsegula ofesi yake ku Brooklyn Loweruka kuti mabungwe onse omwe ali ndi udindo akhale ndi nthumwi pamalo amodzi nthawi imodzi.

Ndinayesa kudziwa mtengo wa 2007 FEMA yomwe idalengeza tsoka ku New York ndi mtengo woyembekezeredwa wa mkuntho wa September 2008. Zambirizi sizikupezeka kuofesi ya OEM. (Ndiyenera kupereka mafunso ovuta kwambiri ngati awa polemba.)

Chifukwa chake, nditatha maola 6 ndikuthamangitsa mabungwe aboma a NYC omwe ali ndi udindo woteteza anthu aku New York ndi alendo pa nthawi yamkuntho, ndidapeza chiyani? Palibe!

Pano ife tiri nazo, pamene nyengo yoipa ikupita ku New York, atsogoleri a boma amatsogolera misonkhano.

ZOMWE MUNGACHITE PA NKHANIYI:

The Office of Emergency Management is not much better, although I did speak with Chris Gilbride, after he stopped yelling at me for a voice mail message he found offensive.
I did try to determine the cost of the 2007 FEMA declared disaster in New York and the anticipated cost of the September 2008 storm.
It appears that OEM is opening its Brooklyn office on Saturday so that all the responsible agencies can have a representative in the same place at the same time.
