DEP In the News Last Tuesday, NBC-4 TV cameras were rolling as DEP partnered with elected officials, community boards, and local organizations to hold a flood kit distribution event and information session in Jamaica, Queens. Senior staff from DEP, including Jerry Fragias, PE and Wendy Sperduto BWSO, Angela Licata from BEPA, and Beth DeFalco from BPAC, were on hand talk to about what NYC is doing to fortify neighborhoods in the face of climate change and to answer questions from the community. In total, DEP provided 150 free flood kits containing flood barriers, sump pumps, and flood sensors to residents. Attendees were also able to give feedback on their experience with flooding to help garner solutions for their communities through a survey provided by DEP staff. DEP will be hosting more events throughout the five boroughs, including Throgs Neck, Rockaways, Staten Island, and East Harlem. #NYCWater #Stormwater #Flooding #FloodBarriers #ClimateChange
