NYC’S URBAN SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAM ― NEW YORK TASK FORCE 1 ― ACTIVATED TO ASSIST IN HURRICANE IDA RESPONSE & RECOVERY EFFORTS
A total of 83 members will deploy to Louisiana
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has activated Urban Search and Rescue - New York Task Force 1 to deploy 83 members to assist in Hurricane Ida response and recovery efforts in Louisiana. The team is managed by the New York City Emergency Management Department and is made up of specially trained personnel from the New York City Fire Department and the New York City Police Department.
The FEMA Urban Search and Rescue program originated as a response system for natural disasters. Since the program's inception, the task forces have broadened the scope of US&R's work. Two early activations of the Urban Search and Rescue system occurred in response to Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and the 1994 Northridge Earthquake in California. FEMA US&R teams also activated in response to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. New York Task Force 1 deployments include Hurricanes Ike and Gustav in 2008, the Haiti earthquake and Hurricane Earl in 2010, Hurricane Matthew in 2016, Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, in 2017, Hurricane Florence in 2018, Hurricane Dorian in 2019, and the Surfside Building Collapse in 2021.
129 Days and Counting
I have a little over four months left as your mayor. It's good that the last three months October, November, and December have thirty-one days or I would be out office three days early. I want you to know that I am a decent person with a heart. It is not my fault that the Taliban kicked us out of Afghanistan, I'm not the president, he is.
Hey Bill, what day is this, and say hello to your wife Hillary for me, I'm Joe Biden, the President.
What do I say now?
On 58th Anniversary of March on Washington, Rep. Jamaal Bowman Calls for Urgent Senate Action on Voting Rights
Rep. Jamaal Bowman on Saturday spoke at the Make Good Trouble Rally for voting, civil, and social rights at the Lincoln Memorial. The rally, which was held on the 58th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech and the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, was one of dozens held across the country to call for protections for voting and civil rights, and an end to the racist and anti-democratic suppression of Black voters across the country. An estimated 75.000 people attended events today in D.C.
In his speech, Rep. Bowman advocated for the abolition of the filibuster, D.C. statehood, and the passage of legislation including the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, to reaffirm voting rights in the wake of Supreme Court decisions weakening the Voting Rights Act.
“It’s a shame that, 58 years later, we are here fighting for the same darn thing as Dr. Martin Luther King,” Rep. Bowman said. “Here is our charge in the coming weeks: We have to pass the For the People Act in the Senate, and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act in the Senate. The House has already done its job, so the Senate has to step up and do its job. But the Senate is not going to do its job if we do not exercise our unlimited power as the people of the United States of America.”
The Make Good Trouble Rally was organized by Until Freedom, Black Church PAC, Transformative Justice Coalition, Black Voters Matter, Repairers of the Breach, Poor People’s Campaign, Kairos, The Gathering for Justice, Faith for Black Lives, Fund Peace, Woke Vote, and more than 60 other partners.
