NYC has a legacy of thinking long‐term, but Sandy was a wake‐up
call. The Special Initiative for Rebuilding and Resiliency (SIRR)
addresses how we rebuild New York City to be more resilient in the
wake of Sandy but with a long‐term focus on:
1) how to rebuild locally; and
2) how to improve citywide infrastructure and building
resilience
We are producing a comprehensive report in May 2013 that will
address these challenges by investigating three key questions:
What happened during and after Sandy and why?
What is the likely risk to NYC as the climate changes and the threat of future storms and severe weather increases?
So what do we do? o In our coastal neighborhoods o With citywide infrastructure
“…the single most important piece of unfinished business that lies ahead of us in 2013: rebuilding the communities hit hardest by Hurricane Sandy - and creating a more resilient and sustainable city.”
– Mayor Michael Bloomberg in his State of the City address, February 14, 2013
SIRR is focused on areas directly impacted by Sandy,
but will use this investigation to inform a citywide
view of how to plan and rebuild better.
SIRR’s May report will present policy
recommendations, infrastructure priorities, and
community plans and will assess sources of long‐
term funding.
