Mayor Mamdani delivers a City Hall “Code Blue” update as New York City faces its coldest conditions in eight years. He says the city has placed nearly 500 homeless New Yorkers indoors since Jan. 19, warns that at least 10 people have died after being found outdoors, and announces expanded emergency measures—new warming shelters, additional health centers, warming buses, intensified street/subway outreach, and faster routing of 311 calls for urgent cases. After the emergency briefing, the mayor announces new senior appointments to city government, introducing leaders for key agencies including Probation, Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS), and Environmental Protection (DEP). The commissioners outline priorities like public safety with dignity, fixing hiring and operations inside city government, infrastructure reliability, climate resilience, and environmental justice.
