Community leaders get advice at ‘One Brooklyn Resource Fair’
“Get prepared and know your zone!” urged Janet Riveras, payroll administer at the NYC Office of Emergency Management (OEM) at Thursday’s “One Brooklyn Resource Fair” at Brooklyn Borough Hall.
“Go home, get your supplies, and make something you can grab to get you through a few days in a shelter,” Ms. Riveras said as she handed out hurricane preparedness brochures and free pens to all comers.
Representatives from dozens of city agencies and private utilities manned tables set up provided packets of information to block presidents and local organizers to help them “learn how to turn their communities into successful neighborhoods, block by block.” The event was hosted by Borough President Eric Adams.
