Rudy Giuliani:
The Man and His Moment

"All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the
willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their
time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership."
John Kenneth Galbraith, The Age of Uncertainty

"Many of [Mayor Giuliani's] strengths were exemplified, expanded upon, during

[the September llth] crisis: the leadership skills, the extraordinary capability to
deal with crisis, the ability to project calmness in the face of catastrophe, the
ability to lead and coordinate. [Pause.] Some of the character traits that caused
that dislike by many in the city, that's still there. But, nobody's perfect. Nobody's
perfect."
Willliam Bratton, Former New York City Police Commission

The Man, The Mayor

"Priest in a Pinstriped Suit."1 The grandson of Italian Catholic immigrants, Rudy Giuliani
nearly entered the priesthood at age seventeen. Dissuaded by his parents, who cherished hopes for
grandchildren, he enrolled instead at Manhattan College in the Bronx. Under his father's tutelage,
the young Giuliani had developed a stark sense of right and wrong. Harold Giuliani was a
dedicated father and, having been convicted as a young man of armed robbery, was determined

The lengthy court decision depicted a night of drunken fighting inside and outside of
Connolly's bar in Manhattan.

"... St. Patrick's Day 2002 produced an instance of imbibition ending in a fight between
members of two competing cults, between members of the New York City Police
Department and the New York City Fire Department," Sweet wrote.

Gill showed up about 10:30 p.m. at the bar, where other off-duty firefighters and police
officers had been drinking. He came upon some of the officers beating a firefighter,
according to the court papers. He got involved in the fight and was beaten. Gill at first
was put in an ambulance, but was taken out and escorted to the local station house,
although he was not formally in custody.

Police said in court papers that Gill was put in a holding cell, where he fell asleep, or
became unconscious, and began vomiting blood. He repeatedly asked for medical help,
the lawsuit said, and city ambulance workers who were at the station house on another
matter saw him, but police allegedly refused to let them help him.

ARCHIVES The Republican National Convention opening here in August is another reason that a
protocol needs to be ironed out soon. The city and its Republican mayor could be
shamed if something went wrong and the federally mandated response system was not
in place, according to sources.

The lack of a written protocol has led to a series of nasty incidents between police and
firefighters over the years. Most notably, the disorganization was blamed for a lack of
cooperation in the hours and days after the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center.

"One could write a book on this: The Battle of the Badges: 180 Years of Rivalry
Unimpeded by Cooperation,'" one source said. "Is this really serving the public good?"

It has been eight years since Gov. George Pataki decreed that the state have formal
procedures for responding to emergencies.

The policies are variously called an Incident Response System, an Incident Command
System or an Incident Management System.

Such systems are in place for the Federal Emergency Management Agency and many
other federal, state and local agencies.

Pataki issued his executive order March 5, 1996, well after the first terrorist attack on the
World Trade Center in 1993 and well before the Sept. 11, 2001, attack that brought

RICHARD J. SHEIRER

Richard Sheirer joined Giuliani Partners LLC as a Senior Vice President on April 8, 2002
after ending his 34-year career in public safety serving those who live, work or visited the
City of New York.

Mayor Giuliani appointed Richard Sheirer Director of Emergency Management in

February 2000 after Sheirer had served 28 years with the New York City Fire Department
and almost four years with the New York City Police Department. Sheirer's career began
as a Fire Alarm Dispatcher in December 1967, rising through the supervisor and
management ranks to become Chief of Dispatch Operations in 1989, Assistant Fire
Commissioner in 1992, and Deputy Fire Commissioner in 1994. In April 1996, the Mayor
appointed Sheirer Deputy Commissioner of Administration and Chief of Staff to
Commissioner Howard Safir at the New York City Police Department. In February 2000
Sheirer was appointed Director of the Mayor's Office of Emergency Management and on
December 31, 2001, Mayor Giuliani's last personnel action of his administration was to
appoint Sheirer New York City's first Commissioner of Emergency Management and the
City's Director of Homeland Security, a position he held until his retirement.

Among his accomplishments at the Fire Department were the policy to provide improved
life-saving resuscitator services for the public; planning for Operation Sail 1976 and
other major special events; implemented a successful multi-agency False Fire Alarm
reduction effort; developed the FIRECAP program where children and adults can turn to
the firehouse in their community or to any Firefighter for assistance and the
FIREWORKS KILL project, which has significantly reduced the use of illegal fireworks,
which had historically been the cause of numerous injuries and fires.

While at the NYPD, he worked closely with local, state and federal law enforcement on
various issues, including even more aggressive efforts to further reduce illegal fireworks;
had oversight responsibility for all major department bureaus and played a key role in the
development of the Courtesy, Professionalism and Respect (CPR) Strategy; the major
drug initiatives in Northern Brooklyn and Upper Manhattan and the creation of the Gang
Suppression Unit. He was responsible for the planning and coordination of major events
such as the Yankee World Series; the John Glenn and Sammy Sosa parades; and was an
initial member of the City's Thanksgiving Day Parade Task Force, a role he continued
while heading OEM. Additionally, the Mayor appointed Commissioner Sheirer
as the City's Director of Public Safety and Security for the Millennium Celebration
and OpSail & International Naval Review 2000.

Commissioner Sheirer managed OEM, the agency which is the "eyes and ears of the
City." Under his direction OEM served a number of roles, among them: monitoring on-
going emergency responses throughout the City; becoming the "arms and legs of the
City" as the on-scene coordinating agency for multi-agency incidents; OEM directs
overall general emergency planning, as well as the City's specialized planning for
mass transit emergencies involving New York City Transit, MTA, AMTRAK, Port
Authority Airports and Trans Hudson Tubes as well as response to Weapons of Mass
Destruction - Chemical, Biological and Nuclear acts of Terrorism. Under Commissioner
Sheirer, the City implemented the largest Public Access Defibrillator Program in the
world; he re-energized the Citywide Rodent Task Force; managed outbreaks of the West
Nile Virus with the Department of Health; planned for Coastal Storms which may result
in the evacuation of 250,000 to 900,000 New Yorkers to pre-planned reception areas and
shelters.

After September 11, 2001, OEM coordinated the largest response, recovery and
cleanup effort in American history at the World Trade Center. After losing the OEM
offices and its Emergency Operation Center (EOC) in 7 World Trade Center, at that
moment in time when the City needed it most on 9/11; under Sheirer's direction the OEM
staff used all their experience, expertise and ingenuity to rebuild an EOC, which was
critical to the success in coordinating the enormous inter-agency operation. In addition,
Commissioner Sheirer and the OEM staff worked with the Mayor's Office to address the
needs of families of uniformed and civilian victims, including coordinating efforts with
the New York Commission for the United Nations, Consular Corps and Protocol to
address the unique needs of foreign citizens and their families affected by the attack.

In October 2002, "in recognition of his outstanding dedication and effort in organizing
the recovery operation at Ground Zero following the Terrorist Attacks on the World
Trade Center on 11 September 2001 and of the contribution made to helping the relatives
of the British victims" Mr. Sheirer was awarded an Honorary CBE (Commander of the
British Empire) bestowed by Queen Elizabeth II.

Commissioner Sheirer graduated from St. Francis College, Brooklyn, in 1976 with a BA
in Political Science and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from St.
John's University in January 2002, an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from
Manhattanville College in May 2002 and an Honorary Doctor of Laws from Baruch
College in May 2002. He has been married to Barbara (Winston) for 30 years. They
reside on Staten Island and have five sons, Matthew, Joseph, Christopher,
Andrew and Paul.

48 Hours At Ground Zero
NEW YORK, Sept. 28,2001

It's 8:48 on Tuesday morning, two weeks to the minute that the first hijacked jet crashed into the World Trade
Center. At Ground Zero, where more than 6,000 people are still missing, the solemn search for any sign of life
goes on.

But even this vital work must stop to remember the thousands who are lost somewhere in these mountains of
debris.

Assistant Fire Chief Frank Fellini has been at Ground Zero since the first hours of the attack. "Almost everyone
knew someone. I've met five or six firefighter fathers looking for sons and sons looking for their fathers."

48 Hours was granted unprecedented access to both Ground Zero and the command center of New York's Office
of Emergency Management. An army of 20,000 city, state and federal workers as well as volunteers are on the
front lines, carefully sifting through debris.

While Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been leading the public charge, his top general is an unassuming career
bureaucrat named Richard Sheirer.

Sheirer, a father of five who has worked for the city for 34 years, is director of the mayor's Office of Emergency
Management, the agency that is the nerve center of the rescue-and-recovery effort.

"Our job is to coordinate the many agencies," he says. "We have well over 100 agencies and usually 300 to 500
people here 24 hours a day."

Sheirer's job has been to make tough decisions over the past 17 days. On Sept. 11, for example, after the two
planes hit the two towers, he asked the police to crash their helicopters into any other planes that might be
attacking the towers.

"There are a lot of decisions you have to make and we were all making, that when we get to sit down and think
about them, they will haunt us," he says.

The city's original command center was destroyed when World Trade Center Number 7 collapsed hours after the
twin towers fell. Within 48 hours, Sheirer and his people found and built a new command center inside a massive
pier.

Engineers pore over old maps and create new ones; the FBI tracks its investigators in the field; the sanitation
department directs its trucks at Ground Zero, and a weather station watches approaching storms. It's an
impressive operation, but Sheirer is modest about it.

"I'm not a hero," he says. "I'm just a guy who does his work. The real heroes are down at the World Trade Center
who work 22 hours a day."

Some of those heroes are about to pull down what's left of one of the twin towers. By early evening, the top of the
wall comes down. As night falls, Ground Zero becomes a dramatic landscape of destruction bathed in stadium
light.

Sheirer finds the place painful. "There are a lot of friends of mine still in there, fellows whose fathers are friends of
mine and I want to give them the dignity and respect they deserve," he says. He has been touched by efforts from
all over, including one resue team who spent its own money and drove 58 hours with no pay to work there.

Everyone is on a mission, he says: "Twenty-four hours a day you come down here and you think it's high noon,
and that's the way it's gotta be."

Aide to Mayor Quietly Handles New York Rescue Effort

There he Is again standing behind New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. But unlike most of the politicos that
itch for the microphone at the mayor's news conferences since the World Trade Center attacks, this stout, bear
of a man with glasses and graying hair isn't looking for air time. He only seems to speak when asked and
whispers answers in the mayor's ear.

As the director of the mayor's Office of Emergency Management, Richard J. Sheirer may be better known for
preparing New Yorkers for a heat wave or fighting against the city's growing rat population. But after the
terrorist attack and the immense multiagency effort to recover from it, Mr. Sheirer has emerged as Mayor
Giuliani's top fixer.

"I'm a general who is really just a corporal," says Mr. Sheirer, his Brooklyn accent muffling his Rs. "I just wanna
get the job done."

The mayor clearly relies heavily on his inner circle of officials and an overwhelming number of agencies,
corporations and politicians who have stepped up without being asked. But privately, people close to the mayor
say much of the weight of the relief effort -- and the logistical nightmares that accompany it — fall on the
shoulders of Mr. Sheirer, or "Richie" as he is called.

Set up in 1996, the OEM coordinates the city's response to all emergency conditions that require multiple
agencies. It monitors emergency radio frequencies and keeps tabs on events here and abroad. In a time of
disaster like last week's, the OEM's Watch Command becomes a main communications and logistics hub.

That gives Mr. Sheirer a significant amount of operational control over the rescue. Managerially, the former fire-
alarm dispatcher is an unflappable master of understatement, as if years of sounding alarms made him cautious
to trip them. Described as a caring man, he seems to remember the names of every firefighter who perished.

Mostly, he is known for his low profile. Nicholas Scopetta, commissioner of the Administration for Children's
Services says: "There's absolutely no ego. He's a patient man who hears everyone but is very decisive."

The response to the Trade Center's collapse wasn't perfect. But to most who witnessed the catastrophe, no
emergency drill would adequately prepare crews for what happened after the planes crashed into the buildings.
"There was nothing on the face of this earth that would prepare you for that," Mr. Sheirer says.

The trick of organizing such a massive effort is straightforward, he says.

His efforts last Tuesday amounted to a constant struggle to set up a communications center. "If I don't have the
right information," he says, "I can't help anybody."

He and other officials tried to set up command posts in the World Trade Center and moved them after
subsequent explosions. In the chaos that followed, Mr. Sheirer set up triage posts and sealed off lower
Manhattan to avoid the same traffic jams that slowed the emergency effort during the 1993 bombing.

City official who coordinated emergency operations during WTC attack steps down

NEW YORK (AP) - The man who directed emergency operations during the World Trade Center attacks has
stepped down as head of the city's Office of Emergency Management.

Richard Sheirer was coordinating evacuations, rescues and triage as the twin towers collapsed Sept. 11, calling
for harbor and air protection, and shutting down the streets of lower Manhattan. In the months since, Sheirer
has directed the massive recovery and cleanup operation at the site.

"We did what you do always - you adapt," said Sheirer, 55, standing on a ramp leading into the seven-story pit
at ground zero on Thursday. "We took all the planning we had done for coastal storms, for bioterrorism, for all
hazards, our experience with water mains, with fires, with collapses, and we used every bit of that experience to
deal with this."

Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani tapped Sheirer in February 2000, when snowstorms and water main breaks were
considered emergencies. Before the terror attacks, Sheirer's most intense day as director was a July 2000
explosion and building collapse that killed three people.

"Richard Sheirer is one of my heroes," Giuliani said. "He's one of the people I relied on the most in getting the
city through Sept. 11."

Sheirer, a former fire department dispatcher who rose through its ranks before becoming police department
chief of staff, lost dozens of friends in the attacks.

His eyes still well with tears when friends' remains are found. A stout man with a round face and big glasses, he
embraces firefighters, one after another, when he goes to ground zero.

Slowly however, New York's emergency services are regrouping. The first of 86 firetrucks ordered to replace
those lost Sept. 11 was delivered to a downtown firehouse on Thursday.

The 100-foot aerial ladder truck, painted with a fluttering American flag and the image of a firefighter raising a
flag at ground zero, was commissioned for Ladder Company 10. The company and Engine 10, which were
among the first to respond to the attacks, lost four firefighters and its vehicles when the twin towers collapsed.

As for Sheirer, he plans to join Giuliani as a consultant on public safety issues. Mayor Michael Bloomberg has not
yet named his successor.
