This document discusses strategies for making New York City more resilient to climate change impacts like flooding. It begins by outlining the increasing risks of flooding, with more people and infrastructure located in floodplains now than in the past. It then explores approaches like coastal protections, green infrastructure in parks, raising at-risk buildings, and establishing community hubs to coordinate recovery assistance. The goal is to use layered strategies from the coastal to building scale to reduce risks as climate threats increase in the coming decades.
