Cuomo fires emergency management boss over LI tree removal

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo fired his emergency management chief after finding out he asked Suffolk County workers to clear a tree from his home on Long Island during the height of superstorm Sandy, officials confirmed Wednesday.

Steve Kuhr, an East Northport resident who headed the Office for Emergency Management for almost exactly one year, was dismissed Tuesday, Cuomo administration officials said.

Kuhr has been working out of an emergency-command center in Albany during the storm, said the officials who asked to remain anonymous because the decision had yet to be publicly announced. He learned that a tree had fallen on his property - though not his house -- and contacted the Suffolk County Department of Public Works to remove it, several officials said.

Cuomo picked Kuhr to lead his agency on Oct.25, 2011, one year and four days before Sandy pummeled New York and New Jersey, knocking out power to more than 2 million and killing more than 100 along the Atlantic Coast.

One source said Suffolk County employees were irate about the incident. Suffolk County officials didn't immediately comment.

In making the selection, the governor had said "no one is better suited" than Kuhr to head state emergency management operations. He said Kuhr was part of a team that would "bring ample experience from both the public and private sectors that will strengthen our operations and make this vital agency work better for New Yorkers."

Kuhr earned a $153,000 annual state salary, according to a database maintained by the Empire Center,a think tank.

Prior to joining the state, Kuhr was the president of Strategic Emergency Group LLC, a private emergency-management and homeland-security company. Before that, he worked for New York City for 20 years, serving as a deputy director for emergency-management services and as a division captain for emergency services with the New York Fire Department.

Hurricane Sandy left a trail of downed trees and power lines. Some residents are still without power and some roads still impassable.

Emergency crews continue to work around the clock to clear the roads in Barbour County. In addition to help from the National Guard and statewide agencies, some local residents are now helping in the tree removal effort.

"It's nice if you have a wood burner; they already said you could get all the wood you want as long as it is laying along the road," said Galloway resident, Daniel Arbogast.

Some area residents are cutting and clearing their own roadways and driveways. Others are removing trees from the side of the road to use for firewood.

The Southern Baptist Convention from Roanoke, Virginia is also joining the relief effort.

"Hopefully we'll have chainsaw crews come up here to do tree removal and clean up," said Paul McDaniel, Disaster Relief leader at Southern Baptist Convention. "It doesn't make a difference if you are low-income elderly, whatever; we will help anybody."

McDaniel said he has been impressed by the individual effort to reopen roadways.

"Good news about these folks up here, they take care of each other," McDaniel said. "A lot of them take care of their elderly in the neighborhood and their neighbors and son-in-laws."

The Barbour County Office of Emergency Management is collecting removed trees and debris at the Barbour County Fairgrounds, the state road garage in Philippi and the intersection of Routes 38 and 92.

JACKSON, MI The Jackson County Road Commission might have a better chance of surviving if cuts in certain areas can be made.

As the county continues the process of deciding whether to dissolve the entity and take over administrative duties, county officials asked the managing director of the road commission where they could save money.

The answer was snow removal, tree removal and, reluctantly, truck drivers.

We have to become more efficient. We are all doing more with less. Drivers are taking on additional miles during snow removal, and we have to set priorities, Managing Director of the JCRC Ken Straub said.

There is also the option to cut the number of drivers the road commission has.

We dont want to, but we could, Straub said.

The road commission is also reducing staff through attrition. There are two truck drivers and one administrator who will be retiring at the end of the year.

Cutting back on tree removal services could also save the road commission money.

We know its an issue, we have been told that if the tree is not in the roadway its not a liability but we continue to cut them. We are looking at possibly contracting for tree work so they dont cause a hazard, Straub said.

The road commission does contract out tree removal services for large trees.

The states emergency-management chief knew whom to help after Superstorm Sandy himself.

Office of Emergency Management boss Steven Kuhr was fired after allegedly sending workers to clear a tree in his Long Island driveway as other victims of the storm suffered, sources said yesterday.

As crews struggled to clear wreckage throughout the area after the storm hit last week, Kuhr called Suffolk County officials and asked for the favor, a source said.

Kuhr, who was in Albany at the time, also had a subordinate call on his behalf, another source said.

KUHR

A state employee alerted Gov. Cuomos office, which conducted a preliminary investigation and spoke to individuals with direct knowledge of what had happened.

That was sufficient to demonstrate the terrible judgment made, an administration official said. It is staggeringly inappropriate for a public servant to direct resources to a private residence when so many people are in trouble.

After learning on Monday of the incident, Cuomo axed Kuhr, sources said.

Kuhr, who earned $153,000 annually, was director for about one year.

Kuhr has had a series of jobs with New York City including as deputy director for operations and planning for the citys Office of Emergency Management.

Gov. Cuomo fires Emergency Management chief over Sandy tree removal: sources

By NBC News staff and wire reports

Updated at 3:36 a.m. ET: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has fired his $153,000-a-year emergency management director for diverting a crew to remove a tree from his Long Island home's driveway after Superstorm Sandy hit, a state official said Wednesday.

Director of Emergency Management Steven Kuhr was fired after the governor was told that Kuhr called a Suffolk County crew to remove a fallen tree from his driveway.

Director of Emergency Management Steven Kuhr was fired after the governor was told that Kuhr called a Suffolk County crew to remove a fallen tree from his driveway, according to the official. Kuhr was working in Albany at the time last week, shortly after Sandy hit.

The official spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the personnel decision wasn't announced. A spokesman for Cuomo declined to comment. The New York Times first reported the action.

More news from NBCNewYork.com

Cuomo appointed Kuhr in October 2011 as executive deputy commissioner of the state Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Services.

There was no answer at Kuhr's office Wednesday night and a phone number listed in his name was not working.

The action comes as Cuomo has bitterly criticized utilities for what he said has been slow progress restoring power to customers from the Hudson Valley through Long Island. Most of the power has been restored to more than 2 million customers who lost electricity because of Sandy, though lights started flickering off again Wednesday night as a new storm raked the region.
