Office of Emergency Management
Estimated Costs
($ in millions )
The Office of Emergency Management provides the City with emergency preparedness and centralized
coordination services in order to respond to emergency situations. Costs to support OEM during the current
response effort include the relocation and build out of the temporary command center and backup site,
citywide staffing of agencies' desks at the center, various general other-than personal services costs, and
vehicle replacements.
OEM's command center was located in 7 World Trade Center and was destroyed. The City has relocated the
command center to Pier 92. The temporary command center is providing centralized coordination, support,
and communication functions for government, private, and non-for-profit entities. The temporary command
center is supporting 70 posts and over 200 people working twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week since
the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. A long-term replacement site will also be necessary.
