Many of us have been called to work at the City’s
Emergency Operations Center to help coordinate the
crisis response and work collaboratively with other
City departments. We also set up a virtual Department
Operations Center to facilitate all the incoming requests
for Public Works staffing and resources.

Public Health’s pandemic-response team, and Eleanor Morse,
who normally works on our performance management
team but now is serving as a public health analyst, get some
fresh air during a quick rooftop break at the Emergency
Operations Center.
