🏆 Congratulations to P.S. 60 Alice Austen School in Staten Island, NYCEM's 2026 Ready School of the Year! For 17 years, we've partnered with @NYCSchools to recognize a school that goes above and beyond in teaching emergency preparedness. This year, that honor goes to P.S. 60 in Bulls Head, Staten Island, led by Principal Donna Bonanno and an extraordinary 4th grade class. Students brought their learning to life through a Weather Share Fair, presenting natural disasters through posters, skits, PowerPoints, and original songs. 🎤🌪️ They went a step further by inviting a neighboring school in a flood zone to attend and donated decorated Go Bags to every visiting student, making sure preparedness reached the kids most likely to need it. 🎒

Council Member @CMPiSanchez is right — preparedness is everyone's responsibility. From the Bronx to every corner of the five boroughs, the strongest response to an emergency starts with informed, ready New Yorkers. Build a Go Bag with the essentials, make a plan with your household, and subscribe to @NotifyNYC for real-time alerts about what's happening in your neighborhood. 🔔 nyc.gov/notify
