on Rhode Island Avenue NE piled into the mayor’s office Thursday for the meeting, and not all were satisfied with her response. Of particular concern, they said, was that Bowser seemed to play down the botched response to 911 calls about the incident.
This time, first responders took 23 minutes to get to the day care as it filled with water, while 30 dogs and seven people were inside. “I am very pessimistic about [the city’s Office of Unified Communications],” said Paul Bonomo, who lost his dog, Pepper. “She talked about reducing call volumes, but they didn’t give us their plan.”D.C. officials previously acknowledged that dispatchers could have conveyed more urgency to emergency responders about the flooding, as the city released three 911 call transcripts that showed call-takers were told that people and dogs inside the facility were in danger.
