In the past, small talk about the weather was considered dull. Today, as we understand the reality of our changing climate, the conversation is much more topical and sometimes critical. This #ClimateWeek we focus on the weather and how to create a resilient future for NYC.
On days like today, ALL New Yorkers need to remember to stay hydrated. To #BeatTheHeat, just sip, sip, repeat.
It's #NationalCleanBeachesWeek, so why not take a reusable bottle with you for your day of fun in the sun? Not only will you help keep single-use plastics out of our waterways, but you can fill it with delicious NYC tap water!
The skyscrapers of NYC mimic the cliffs where #PeregrineFalcons typically nest. High above our city streets, this place of relative solitude is a perfect location for mama falcons to raise a family. Whether on the ground or in the air, happy #MothersDay to ALL our NYC moms!

Congratulations to DEP Section Chief/Wildlife Studies Chris Nadareski, who recently received the New York Chapter of The Wildlife Society's Stuart Free Award. Recognized for diligent professional service that inspires his peers, Chris' dedication to preserving #PeregrineFalcons has contributed to the species' success in the Northeast!
#WorldWaterDay is a day to acknowledge how vital access to clean, safe water is. For nearly 200 years, NYC has invested in its water supply, and it is truly a work of art.
Grab your umbrella because NYC has a rainy week ahead! Our crews are out inspecting & cleaning catch basins in flood-prone areas, but if you spot a catch basin in your neighborhood that needs some help, report it to NYC 311

While most of NYC is under a travel advisory this morning, the snowy, wet weather can’t stop DEP’s field crews from making overnight repairs to keep everything flowing. #NYToughest💪
