As the New York National Guard including military police moved to Buffalo to help with recovery efforts, many residents were left to fend for themselves and their communities.
After a blizzard left 39 people dead across New York's Erie County, the City of Buffalo announced that New York University will conduct an"after-action report" about the region's response to the storm, according toNYU's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service will review the storm preparation, response and recovery to outline best practices for other major cities as well as offer Buffalo feedback, according to Brown.
"Nobody would come," Buffalo resident Tayron Knight said when explaining how he got stuck on Niagara Falls Boulevard."I called the police numerous times -- the police told me I was on a waiting list that they couldn't see nobody out." "There were so many calls that emergency services were canceled, you know, there's so many people left helpless, not realizing when they're going to be able to get help," Kless said.
Knight said he was eventually rescued by a friend, after which he began to work with friends and family to coordinate rescues in the absence of emergency services.
