NYC Commissioner Zach Iscol addresses available cooling centers throughout the city amid heatwave
New York City’s elected officials and community boards couldn’t be bothered with helping residents cope with the stifling weekend
The half-dozen pols who responded were state Sen. Leroy Comrie and council members Nantasha Williams and Selvena Brooks-Powers of Queens, Councilwoman Ana Sanchez of The Bronx and state Assemblyman Michael Novakhov and Councilwoman Alexa Aviles of Brooklyn.“We are doing everything in our power to help New Yorkers beat the heat, including opening cooling centers across the five boroughs. But we cannot do this alone,” a mayoral rep told The Post on Monday.
“With this in mind, we’re seeking opportunities to engage new partners – such as the offices of elected officials and community boards like yours – that already have trusted and respected roles in the city’s diverse communities,” OEM said. “We’d like to partner with you to expand the Cooling Centers network and give New Yorkers access to more cool spaces where they can cool down when the program is activated during extreme heat days.
