This bill would require the New York City Department for the Aging (DFTA) to regularly provide written materials from New York Emergency Management to all senior centers and naturally occurring retirement communities sponsored by DFTA on how to register with utility companies as an individual who uses life-sustaining medical equipment or for whom a disruption in electrical service would create a medical emergency. The materials would also be posted on DFTA’s website and the website of the Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities.
