communication of Technical Env... quick idea of what we are thinking.

“Blatchford, Laurel” <[email protected]> 06/21/02 08:21AM »> yes, of course, if for some reason I am not at my desk when you call, try me on my cell - 917-513- 1339. I have a 1:30 meeting that should be done by 3, and then will be all set. I can also talk over the weekend if that makes sense for you. —Original Message— From: Jessica Leighton [maiito:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 8:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: FEMA funding - communication issues

I am supposed to be off this afternoon but if I end up being here, I will give you a call, otherwise, can we talk on Monday? “Blatchford. Laurel” <[email protected] > 06/20/02 07:02PM »> Jessica -

I owe you an apology b/c I realized late last night when I got home and checked my personal cell for messages that you had called. I am sorry not to get back to you. I am absolutely eager to discuss this. Perhaps we can touch base tomorrow? My afternoon looks pretty open - perhaps we can set a phone date? Also, if there’s something in writing, perhaps you can pass it along so that I can be fully informed when we talk? Thanks and look forward to talking with you soon.

In the FEMA proposal that DEP is coordinating,the DOH was hoping to include some funding for risk communication activities for lower manhattan. Bob Avaltroni mentioned that you were requesting funding for communication issues as well. I would like to coordinate on what we would like to include. I think they are probably distinct areas. From our side, it is likely that DOH will need to continue to respond to community issues, conduct community presentations, respond to health issues related to indoor air results and prepare materials in response to press or public concerns. Additionally, we would like to put together
