    We hope you will join us on Monday, October 17th at 11am PT/2pm ET for our next Community Conversations call.

    We will be joined by @Christine Kim, Founder & Board Member of My Dog is My Home & Former Director of the NYC Mayor's Office of Animal Welfare under Mayor Bill de Blasio, Alexandra Silver, Director of the NYC Mayor's Office of Animal Welfare under Mayor Eric Adams, and Andrew Perlman, Program Manager of the Human Services, Preparedness & Long-Term Planning Division of NYC Emergency Management, for a presentation about Interdisciplinary Collaboration for Animals in Emergency Management Response.

    New York City is the largest city in the United States, employing the biggest municipal workforce in the country which administers a complex web of public services unmatched in size and scale. Within this distinct environment, unique government entities implement sweeping, first-of-its-kind public policy for animals and their caregivers. Often, such policies are developed to manage emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic, extreme weather, and/or fire. This talk will review examples of NYC’s emergency management responses for people and their companion animals; the mobilization of public-private partnerships and the interdisciplinary coordination necessary to implement these policies; and how strengthening other parts of the social service system intersects with emergency management for people and animals.
