New York City�s commissioner of the office of emergency management is resigning.

Mayoral spokeswoman Marti Adams on Wednesday said Joseph Bruno will be stepping down on June 27.

The 70-year-old Bruno was appointed to the emergency management post in 2004 by Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He played a large role in helping the city prepare for Superstorm Sandy, as well as several severe snowstorms.

The former judge and the city�s fire commissioner began working in city government more than 40 years ago under Mayor John Lindsay.

Adams did not say if Mayor Bill de Blasio had chosen a successor.
