Right now, most of the outages are concentrated in Brooklyn and Queens. The accumulated heat and strain from the past few days has built up in the electrical equipment.
The @FDNY, @NYCEmergencyMgt and other City agencies are on the ground and responding to any stuck elevators — and making sure seniors and any vulnerable populations have the support they need.
