• Air Quality: See attached
• We are getting many calls with respect to re-occupancy and are working as closely as
possible with building owners and 1he contractors to effectively expedite necessary
measures. However, some of the buildings that have been highlighted 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 seen 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 voice in speaking to air
quality questions and concerns.
• We are also attempting to work diligently with EPA in all efforts and are running into
what was considered to be anticipated problems in an effort as huge as the one we are
confronted with. These communication problems have come about due to the number
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
