Subject: Letters to FEMA regarding Interior Building Cleaning
Steve,
I spoke with my contact at DEP regarding the letters to FEMA from DEP, DoH, Mayor’s Office of
Economic Development, and USEPA that clearly validate the environmental, health and
economic threats posed by debris inside residential buildings as well as the resulting need for
cleaning.
Apparently, DEP did not understand that we need four separate letters or that we want DEP to
coordinate the preparation and collection of these letters from the four agencies. DEP
understood that we only needed one letter from the City as a whole. We received the draft of this
one letter from DEP on May 8, 2002.
I also mentioned that the language contained in the four letters should, as compared to the draft
letter we received on May 8, 2002, be clearer and perhaps more forceful in regards to the threat
and the need to perform cleaning.
DEP is concerned that this misunderstanding may cause a delay in funding for this program.
Please let me know how I should proceed.
Thank you,
Emily
