(East Harlem, NY)- Senator Serrano commended Governor Andrew M. Cuomo for approving two projects that will receive grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). Metropolitan Hospital Center in Manhattan and Coney Island Hospital Center in Brooklyn, will be receiving pre-connection points for roll-up type, interim generators and chillers. These connections will allow both facilities to rent external roll up type generators to quickly restore essential services if the main equipment is rendered inoperable during extreme weather or other emergencies.
"I want to thank Governor Cuomo and FEMA for ensuring that our hospitals and critical care facilities are well equipped to withstand severe weather emergencies. Metropolitan Hospital Center, in my district, provides vital services for the East Harlem community, especially in extreme circumstances. It is important that facilities, like Metropolitan Hospital, are fully functional at all times, even during the unfortunate event of a natural disaster," said Senator Serrano.
