Committee members Paul J. Novak of Lynbrook and Mark I. Masini of Syosset look on as the 747 used in the May 21 disaster preparedness drill at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens makes its way to the staging area. Novak, Masini and Committee Chair Robert J. Saltzman of Valley Stream represented the Committee at the exercise. Last summer, the MDR Committee was added to the Port of New York Authority's automatic disaster response system, a distinction that gives the group near immediate on-site access to disasters that occur on PONYA property.
