Winter Storm Elliot

One life lost during a winter storm is one life too many, says University District Councilman Rasheed Wyatt. He says there's needs to be more communication and collaboration between the Common Council and the mayor's office regarding their winter snow plan.

Union president Vincent Ventresca says the report was "put together in an effort to slowly cover up the glaring failures of people in leadership roles within the City of Buffalo."

The report by NYU found insufficiencies in the city’s preparedness, communication and coordination.

The Buffalo Fire Department has old equipment that needs replacing, according to union president Vinny Ventresca.

Fire Commissioner William Renaldo, who is responsible for coordinating the city's emergency response, did not deny claims he was on vacation during the storm.

Stephen Nowicki ventured out into the Buffalo blizzard last month to rescue a man he didn’t know.

Buffalo has suffered through a series of unfortunate events lately.

You may have heard of staff "away days," where workplaces take employees to somewhere other than the office for a change of scene and to develop team skills. The recent storm took the concept to a whole new level for a group of essential workers from Horizon Health Services in downtown Buffalo.

After several dozen deaths from a well-predicted snowstorm, Buffalo, N.Y. officials and residents are trading the blame for poor preparation and catastrophic impact.

The Erie County Medical Examiner's Office reported Friday the death toll from Winter Storm Elliot stands at 39 people and that all previously unidentified bodies have now been identified.
