How New York differs from the federal baseline

  • New York City businesses are subject to additional emergency planning requirements under NYC Local Law 26 of 2004, which requires certain buildings to have Emergency Action Plans filed with the NYC Fire Department.
  • New York State requires healthcare facilities to develop and maintain emergency preparedness plans that comply with both federal CMS requirements and state Department of Health regulations.
  • New York emergency plans should address winter storm and blizzard hazards, building evacuation in high-rise structures (particularly in NYC), and mass transit disruptions.

Penalty Information

Federal OSHA penalties apply. NYC Fire Department can issue violations for failure to file or maintain required Emergency Action Plans under Local Law 26, with fines starting at $2,500.

New York context

Emergency planning in New York varies dramatically between New York City (high-rise evacuation, mass transit dependency, density challenges) and upstate/suburban areas (winter storms, flooding, rural response times). Businesses should tailor their plans to their specific location.
