Chuck Schumer has called for upgrades to the federal government’s weather tracking. “It often given us info we wouldn’t have gotten any other place, bluntly, more urgent info, because it was us protecting ourselves,” said the mayor. Mayoral spokespeople did not provide a dollar figure for the initiative.ĭe Blasio compared the potentially duplicative system to the city’s post 9/11 counterterrorism efforts that added duties to the NYPD that the federal government already performed.

Mayor Bill de Blasio on Monday proposed a city-run weather tracking system to supplement the National Weather Service’s alerts - even though NWS issued warnings about the heavy flooding from Hurricane Ida that Hizzoner failed to heed before the tempest killed 13 New Yorkers earlier this month.
