(2) Pursuant to subdivision g of this section, the office of operations shall report the results of the inventory compiled pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subdivision to the council as part of the Annual Snow Preparedness and Response Report.
(3) The office of operations shall, on an annual basis, compile an inventory of all equipment and resources available for use by the city during any weather emergency other than a snow event.  For purposes of this subdivision, the term "weather emergency" shall include, but not be limited to, the following events: coastal storm, earthquake, flooding, heat wave, hurricane, tornado, and weather-related blackout.
      (4) No later than April 1, 2012, and annually on April 1 thereafter, the office of operations shall report the results of the inventory compiled pursuant to paragraph (3) of this subdivision to the council and make such report available to the public on the city's website.  This report shall include, for each category of weather emergency, information regarding:
a. city-owned weather emergency management equipment and resources;
b. privately-owned weather emergency management equipment and resources;
c. the agency responsible for the deployment of such city-owned and privately-owned weather emergency management equipment and resources;
d. the location of such city-owned and privately-owned weather emergency management equipment and resources; and
