Know What's Good in Your ‘Hood

OEM TIP OF THE WEEK: KNOW WHAT'S GOOD IN YOUR 'HOOD Every household should designate two emergency meeting spots within the neighborhood: one right outside the home and one a bit farther away, within walking distance of the house. This week, OEM encourages New Yorkers to use NYC City Maps to find suitable meeting points like libraries, recreation centers, parks, and museums. Visit NYC.gov/citymaps. Set your search type to "Address" and enter your address. When the results display, click "Show additional information..." Under "Find Nearest..." choose your meeting spot from the drop-down list "Choose..." Finally, talk about your meeting spots with everyone in your home and practice getting there once or twice a year.
