A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the creation and publicization of an online portal for vulnerable and homebound individuals to voluntarily facilitate their inclusion in outreach and recovery efforts during emergencies

This bill would require the Commissioner of Emergency Management to create and publicize a portal on its website where individuals can voluntarily self-identify as vulnerable or homebound and request inclusion in outreach and recovery plans for emergencies. The portal would allow individuals to provide relevant information to facilitate their inclusion in existing systems used by the Emergency Management Department to assist vulnerable and homebound individuals before, during, and after emergency conditions.
