Phase 1

• Bring together local emergency responders, community organizations, and neighborhood councils to recognize gaps in access to emergency services across NYC.

• Highlight disparities in response times and resource availability in different boroughs and communities.

Phase 2

• Invite local precincts, EMS units, and community safety groups to publicly endorse non-binding “Emergency Access Awareness Commitments,” pledging to map service coverage and share findings.

• Encourage residents and local organizations to document access issues (blocked routes, delayed responses) and submit simple reports to city agencies for planning improvements.
