• Air Quality: See attached
• We are getting many calls with respect tr re-occupancy and are working as closely as
possible with building owners and the contractors to effectively expedite necessary
measures. However, some of the buildings that have been highligk id including 100
Church, 40 Rector, etc., show significant problems requiring clean-up efforts that will
take much time. We have been to all locations in the area (ground zero, perimeter,
etc.) and have sera the devastation and significant work to be done as we move to
recovery.
• We have had a dialogue with the DOH as previously suggested and are awaiting a
script to disseminate to our Help Line so we may have one vc'ce in speaking to air
quality questions and concerns.
• We are also attempting to work diligently with EPA in all efforts and are naming into
what was considered to be anticipated problems in an effort as huge as the one we are
confronted with. These conununication problems have come about due to the munber
of individuals at various points of the process, and at various stages of the process,
that came to offer us assistance. We will work through these anticipated problems
and attempt to convey that same “one voice” message to the people of our City to
avoid confusion and concerns
