New York City Emergency Management is responsible for the NYC Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program and distributes this weekly CERT newsletter to all active members so that they stay up-to-date on new opportunities, policies and initiatives that affect their membership.
Press releases are designed to inform the public of an upcoming/ongoing emergency or special event. Some emergencies include coastal storms, winter weather and extreme heat. Releases also highlight special events including Ready New York presentations and other community preparedness initiatives.
The NYCEM Community Preparedness newsletter provides information about preparedness initiatives, resources and local events to community and faith-based organizations, leaders and the general public of New York City. During emergencies, important alerts and updates are issued to all who subscribe.
