Subject: Summary of Hotline Calls Received Wednesday 3/20/2002
Good morning everyone,
The voicemail problems were finally sorted out last night and we were able to receive messages directly from hotline
callers calling during off hours. I checked the messages this morning and only received 3 messages total: 1 was a test
message from a hotline worker, 1 was a hang-up and 1 was a genuine caller whom 1 called back. Based on these results,
I cannot explain why it appears that we are receiving so many calls at night. One possible answer is that our line is getting
crossed with an OTB line, I was here early in the morning and received 5 calls for OTB. I have asked telecommunications
to look into this problem.
Until we know whether the call volume reported is truly reflective of hotline calls, I will stop summarizing these reports. The
following is a summary of calls received from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM (our operating hours) on 3/20.
26 calls received by the system from 11:00 AM - 7:00 PM on 3/20
18 of these calls were answered by operators
8 of these calls were hang-ups
of the 18 calls answered by hotline operators:
1 was a cleaning question
4 were related to the outdoor environment
1 was a health question
3 were indoor air testing requests
4 were questions for the old WTC hotline
4 were "other" questions for DEP/DOH
1 was school-related (PS 89)
Please e-mail us with any questions or comments.
