Infrastructure

The Special Initiative for Rebuilding and Resiliency (SIRR) addressed how to rebuild New York City to be more resilient in the wake of Sandy with a long-term focus. One of the main tasks was to address how to improve citywide infrastructure and building resilience.

SIRR's Citywide Infrastructure and Built Environment Team focused on a system-by-system analysis of how to improve citywide infrastructure and building resilience. This analysis is centered on the following key areas:

• Coastal Protection 
• Built Environment 
• Insurance
• Energy
  • Utilities
  • Liquid Fuels
• Healthcare 
• Telecommunications 
• Transportation 
• Water and Wastewater 
• Solid Waste 
• Food Supply 
• Parks

If you would like to give feedback about any of these issues – or citywide resilience in general – please contact us online.
