Ok People here’s the deal

Yesterdays meetings were addressing the lack actual help getting to all the communities in the effected areas efficiently and bypassing the NGO’s who have dug in, come and gone leaving in their wake a false sense to outsiders that everything is resolved.

Summer is coming to the Rockaway Peninsula, the thin strip of land lapped on either side by Jamaica Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. And with the warmth will come the usual hordes who play and bask on its beaches, and, inevitably, suffer heatstroke, volleyball sprains, beach glass lacerations and near-drownings — the sorts of seaside scrapes that send people to the emergency room every season.

But this season, there will be one fewer hospital to deal with such traumas.

. . . Peninsula had such a dubious reputation that some residents said they had avoided it altogether. St. John’s asserts that despite a potential upsurge, it can handle the summer crush.

Nonetheless, hundreds of residents and former hospital employees gave impassioned testimony to the contrary before a panel this month at a legally required meeting on the closing; the panel included Dr. Nirav R. Shah, the state health commissioner.

Some Homeowners Await Results From City "Rapid Repairs" Program

The mayor announced earlier this month an unprecedented city program to farm out home repair work in storm-ravaged areas to general contractors. He promised a "rapid response" to get people back in their homes, but some Queens homeowners who have signed up for the program say it is not fast enough. NY1's Courtney Gross filed the following report.
