On 26 March 2019 and again on 10 April 2020, the Blessed Mother warned elders of the House of the Assembly that New York City, New York and environs, would not be safe for members of the Church to live full time. She said the elders should encourage members to leave the area, and in some cases, the state, if it is possible. She said that flooding would occur within just a few years and the infrastructure would begin to fail throughout the area.
Since then, efforts have been made to vacate the state. A representative office remains in Brooklyn for the time being. The Patriarchate hopes to close the office as soon as possible.

{Update: The office maintained by the Patriarchate in New York was vacated, but due to legal agreements it could not be closed until 2024. In May of 2023, the Blessed Mother again warned of flooding that would cause damage to the office, especially a basement guest apartment. The last remaining items of supplies was removed from the facility just before the floods came in late September 2023.}
