Press Release New York City Department of Health Office of Public Affairs FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Sandra Mullin/ Andrew Tucker Monday, September 17, 2001 (212) 447-8232 .
HEALTH DEPARTMENT OFFERS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS RE-OCCUPYING COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS AND RESIDENTS RE-ENTERING THEIR HOMES
The New York City Department of Health announced today recommendations for building owners/managers and individuals who are being allowed to re-enter their businesses or homes for the first time since the World Trade Center disaster on September 11. The Health Department has been collaborating with numerous City, State, and Federal agencies to monitor potential public health impacts in the general vicinity of the World Trade Center blast zone.
New York City Health Commissioner Neal L. Cohen, M.D., said "As some buildings near the World Trade Center may have sustained structural damage, experienced power loss, and/or been subject to migrating dust and debris from the blast, the Health Department working with numerous agencies have been actively monitoring the condition of buildings in and around the blast area to determine when occupants may safely resume tenancy. Property owners and managers are being instructed to assess the stability and safety of their buildings. This includes checking and, if necessary, restoring utility services."
Recommendations for Re-entiy into Your Homes
In your home, first make sure that conditions are safe. Enter your home dressed in a long-sleeve shirt and pants, and with closed shoes. Upon entry:
• Check for the smell of gas. If the apartment smells of gas, leave immediately and report it to your building manager and to Con Edison.
