Mayor Eric Adams was blasted for a slow response to Friday’s massive flooding — after he failed to issue more than the most meager warning the day before and even showed up late for an emergency management hearing with other officials.

Adams’ first comment on the storm came at about midday, warning people to stay home after hundreds of thousands of school kids had already headed out to class. The mayor’s emergency declaration came two hours after Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a similar order — and hours after weather experts said it was clear the rain would create serious and possibly deadly conditions.
