INVITE:: THE POST SANDY HOT WASH 
READY ROCKAWAY & ROCKAWAY PENINSULA AND BROAD CHANNEL LONG TERM RECOVERY GROUP 
Many local community members in the storm affected areas have not yet been given an opportunity to give firsthand knowledge of how the emergency response was to the storm. Ready Rockaway and the Rockaway & Broad Channel Long Term Recovery Group invite the local community of Queens to their Hot Wash event where they will openly discuss the successes and shortcomings on the part of first responders in the aftermath of super storm Sandy. National and local government agencies, officials, and emergency response teams will be on hand to discuss their response and actions after the storm and hear from community members in attendance. Among the topics of discussion will be Response, Evacuation, Mass Care, Shelter Ready, and Communication, and the local community will be encouraged to lend their voice and suggest alternatives to response. Among the agencies invited will be The American Red Cross, FEMA, NYPD, Department of Health, FDNY, Department of Education, New York Cares, Local Elected Officials, U.S. Congress, N.Y. Senate and Assembly members, N.Y.C Council Members, World Cares Center and N.Y.C VOAD.
WHEN: Thursday Feb. 28th, 10AM - 2PM
WHERE:  ROCKAWAY REVIVIAL CHURCH 1526 Central Avenue Far Rockaway, N.Y. 11691
