"New York's local emergency managers play a vital role in responding to a wide variety of emergencies in their communities and we are proud to support and celebrate them in their mission," Governor Hochul said. "Our accreditation program demonstrates counties have thorough plans and procedures to protect New Yorkers. Congratulations to County Executives Bellone and Bello, County Manager Wheeler and their respective teams on this achievement, and I continue to encourage counties across the state to pursue this important accreditation process."
