New York City’s emergency alert system picked up nearly 177,000 additional subscriptions during Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s first six months in office, as snowstorms, bitter cold, flooding and extreme heat battered the city — and Hizzoner repeatedly pushed the service across social media.
The growth is reflected in the Mayor’s Management Report released Thursday, which shows the broader reach of Notify NYC and three other emergency communications channels climbing from 1.34 million subscriptions in fiscal 2025 to 1.61 million in fiscal 2026 — a roughly 20% increase.
