Just one problem: the relief site is apparently down. One Twitter user says it hasn’t worked for days:
@nycmayorsoffice website hasnt been working for me the last 2 days…help? i want to sign up!!

Others used the tweet as an opportunity to vent about the NYC Marathon, which many New York residents say should be canceled:
@nycmayorsoffice I’m sure there are thousands of runners who would be happy to volunteer instead of using valuable city resources. #marathon

@nycmayorsoffice stop the marathon and send the generators, water, food and city workers to help the ones needing help.
