l This is in response to ymr hi.i.w-of July 16, 1982, in which l
you request an outline of the respon'ibilities of the Human Resources a
Administration in the event of an emergency evacuation of some part, or all, of New York City.
HRA is a participating member in the Mayor's Emergency Control Board and is charged with the responsibility of providing shelter, food, clothing and registration of victims of natural disasters and other emergencies.
My Office, Crisis Intervention Services, acts for HRA with the Mayor's Emergency Control Board and with its operational arm, the Office of Civil Preparedness of the Police Department.
Since CIS assumed responsibility in 1978 for disaster planning within HRA, all emergency plans developed for the Office of Civil Preparedness have dealt with the sheltering of disaster victims within the confines of New York City.
For example, shelter plans were developed for housing people stranded by snowstorms, people in heat '
less dwe'llings, and people forced to evacuate their homes in floods, blackouts, etc.
We recently completed a plan for providing shelter if a limited geographic area of the City had to be evacuated.
This evacuation plan assumes that there would be a mavimum of 100,000 persons seeking shelter.
Our shelter plans rely heavily on the availability of Public Schools.
Full surveys of 90 of these schools were conducted for our limited evacuation plan.
We also have surveyed over 1,000 privately owned facilities, predominately operated by religious institutions and community canters.
Conditional commitments have been obtained for use of these facilities es emergency shelters.
In all of our emergency shelter plans, HRA works cooperatively with the American Red Cross in terms of identification of facilities, activation and staffing.
We have a contractual agreement with the Red Cross to store and transport our supply of cots, blankets and other emergency equipment.
Under the terms of this contract, the
~
~
O O Red Cross also supplies food to shelterees at no additional cost to the City.
We have not yet been involved in planning for that type of emergency whereby New York City residents would require shelter in other parts of the State or in other States HRA staff trained in chelter operations (about 400 volunteer staff members) have regular essignments in HRA which would require their presence in New York City.
I assume that, if New York City residents would have to evacuate the City, shelter arrangements would be coordinated with the receiving counties through the New York State Office of Disaster Preparedness.
Tour letter also raises the separate issue of fami7ies and individn='Ia temporar.ily hauand.in. hotels due to fire or other emergency.
These f*=114es are not housed in congregate facilities but in commercial hotels and family shelters with individual dwell-ing units operated by non-profit agencies.
Approximately 4,000 families per year are placed in accordance with well defined cperating procedures by the Division of Relocation of the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, the HRA Department of Income Maintenance and the American Red Cross.
Crisis Intervention Services provides on-site social services at these facilities.
We hope this answers your inquiry.
Please feel free to contact us for additional information.
Sincerely p
