The following is the procedure that has been developed by the Office Of Emergency Management and the Mayor's Community Assistance Unit. It is their hope that this will help family members to address questions or concerns in the best possible way. They are dedicated to helping us in every way possible way. They stand with us--united in our grief and our search for answers.

The Visitations are held every other Wednesday, Where ten family members are taken at a time. Family members will meet the Office of Emergency Management and the Mayor's Community Assistance Unit personnel at 51 Chambers Street at 9:00 am. Once the family members have gathered and been accounted for, the van will leave promptly at 9:30 am. Family members are taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner where a full 90 minutes has been scheduled for family members to meet with the Medical Examiner and to allow the ME to answer any questions or concerns. It is important to note that very personal issues can also be addressed during a private consultation with the Medical Examiner. Family members are not exposed to anything harsh. The staff is very kind and respectful of our needs. They are dedicated to helping us in anyway possible. Please note that questions regarding Personnel Effects are best addressed by the Property Clerk Division. The phone number is 212-646-5905. At 11:30, the van will depart the Medical Examiner's Office for the Staten Island site. There, family members will be provided with another 90 minute window to allow them to observe the debris sorting operation and have any questions or concerns addressed. At 1:30 pm, the family members will depart the Staten Island site for the City's Department of Design and Construction, they will be given 90 minutes to discuss any outstanding questions or issues with that office, at which point they will return to 51 Chambers Street. It is very important that all arrival and departure times be adhered to,as this will permit all family members with sufficient time to observe each of the respective sites , have their questions and issues addressed, then return safely to their original points of departure. Owing to the highly visible and sensitive nature of the visits, it is very important that we closely follow the schedule as it is outlined above.
