"New Yorkers deserve a Mayoral administration that is laser focused on managing a more climate-prepared and resilient city," Lander said in an email.
"Climate change continues to bring more and more devastating storms every hurricane season—and the City needs to improve the way it handles emergency outreach, storm operations, and resilient capital projects to be most prepared," he noted.
The comptroller's update found that only "modest progress" has been made in maintaining the city's 153,000 catch basins or storm drains.
"But far more is needed to be fully prepared for heavy storms," the factsheet concludes.
