NEW YORK — Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday defended New York City’s emergency management agency for putting out a public service announcement about surviving a nuclear attack.
Pushing back on the idea that the PSA could be considered “alarmist,” Adams said it’s always good to give New Yorkers tools to protect themselves against possible threats.
“I’m a big believer in better safe than sorry,” Adams said. “I take my hat off to (the Office of Emergency Management). OEM took a very proactive step and said, ‘Let’s be prepared.’”
