Historical Notes
In 2001, the Mayor’s Office of Emergency Management was a newly formed agency comprised of personnel drawn from the police, fire, and other emergency agencies. Headquartered on the 23rd floor of 7 World Trade Center, the agency operated a citywide command center equipped with the most up-to-date communications technology. Its interagency mandate and equipment enabled direct communication with FDNY and NYPD commands.
