Hazard Mitigation Plan - Mitigation Actions Database

New York City’s comprehensive effort to reduce or eliminate potential losses from the hazards described in the Hazard Specific section of the website. The map includes existing and completed mitigation actions that will minimize the effects of a hazard event on New York City’s population, economy, property, building stock, and infrastructure. It is the result of a coordinated effort by 46 New York City agencies and partners to develop and implement a broad range of inventive and effective ways to mitigate hazards.

NOTE: This table can be joined to the mapped projects using the HMP Index field.

Description Problem
Resources for homeowners in floodprone areas may not be accessible from working with design/engineers to evaluating and pricing retrofits, applying for finding opportunities, and leveraging the City's knowledge base for construction in the floodplain (foundations, modular, etc).

There is a gap between existing programs and one that is more complex, and not tied to a specific event type. Beyond FloodHelpNY and Homefix assessments, for homeowners that are ready to implement corrective or resilient measures but need targeted assistance with managing their project. This is not a direct assistance program (construction, construction management, or grant).

Semi-attached and attached structures, homes over water, narrow lot, etc in the floodplain have more limitations in recovery construction assistance after an event, or flood mitigation options due to the nature of the property. Can the City develop best practices for specific structure/property types in order to better assist homeowners experiencing repetitve loss? Can the City develop a program that looks at Dutch style floating homes for Jamaica Bay?

NFIP Compliance Program
Mitigation Actions Description
Develop a program to track NFIP compliance for properties that have a requirement to carry.
Description Problem
Property owners in the SFHA, who received federal disaster assistance through BIB, are required to carry flood insurance in perpetuity. Sandy affected homeowners are the largest population, but any subsequent event with federal disaster assistance would also carry this requirement. Currently there is no enforcement or monitoring on this issue. Non-compliance will hinder a homeowner's ability to receive disaster assistance in the future so proactive monitoring and advocacy will be critical to future recovery efforts.

Penn Station access
Mitigation Actions Description
Add resiliency to the Metro-North system to enable the New Haven Line service to access Manhattan in a catastrophic event. There are three points of failure for Metro-North Service into Manhattan: Mott Haven Junction, the Harlem River Lift Bridge, and GCT and its viaduct and tunnel approaches. A catastrophic event at any of these points would cut off Metro-North service to midtown Manhattan, affecting over 700 trains and over 220,000 commuters daily. In addition, there is a risk of terrorist attack, a ship or large construction barge with a crane hitting the bridge, or fire. Resiliency improvements would protect service into midtown Manhattan.
