| Abstract: | A digital image from the DSNY's 2006 Annual Report. A collection truck
is dumping debris during an emergency response to a flood upstate. |
| Description: | The emergency response took place at the end of June, 2006. Information
about DSNY’s role in emergency response can be found on nyc.gov:
“Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg today [June 29, 2006] announced the
deployment of New York City emergency responders to areas of upstate New
York ravaged by recent flooding. At the request of the New York State
Office of Emergency Management, teams from the New York City Fire
Department (FDNY), New York City Police Department (NYPD), Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP) and Department of Sanitation (DSNY) have
been called upon to assist in the rescue and recovery efforts in the
areas hardest hit by flooding. ... The Department of Sanitation is
mobilizing a team of 50 workers including a Deputy Chief, two uniformed
superintendents and four supervisors, 32 Sanitation Workers and several
civilian support members. The team, headed to Delaware County, is
scheduled to depart early Saturday morning from the DSNY’s Zerega
Avenue staging area in the Bronx. The DSNY convoy will include 10 cut
downs (dump trucks), five front-end loaders, two large tow trucks, two
gas trucks, one street flusher, a bulldozer, back hoe, two passenger
vans, a road rig, command center, light pack truck and a welding truck.
Smaller equipment will be transported on seven low-boy trailers that
will be driven up to the flooded areas. All DSNY personnel have
volunteered for the humanitarian duty assignment. The DSNY team will be
headed by Deputy Chief Nick Vero.” (Press release, “Mayor
