NY Rising Community Reconstruction Program
URS Corporation (NY State) | December 2013 – April 2014
Project Highlights
- Public outreach award winner: Best Inclusion of Vulnerable Populations
- Developed projects through community input
Worked with communities in Southern Brooklyn to rebuild safer communities by writing community-driven plans that considered damage, future threats to key assets and the community’s economic future. Plans were consistent with the National Disaster Recovery Framework. Each reconstruction plan considered the needs, risks and opportunities related to assets in the following recovery support function categories: Community Planning and Capacity Building, Economic Development, Health and Social Services, Housing, Infrastructure and Natural and Cultural Resources. The Southern Brooklyn Peninsula won an award from NY Rising for “Best Inclusion of Vulnerable Populations.”
